Georgetown has more than 2,000 brand new alumni -- including the first from the Doha, Qatar campus -- after the university’s 210th commencement exercises.

Each of the university’s nine schools, plus the McDonough School of Business’ MBA program, held individual ceremonies to honor their graduates. The Washington campuses celebrated commencement weekend May 16-17, while the School of Foreign Service-Qatar held its inaugural graduation on May 9.

Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) delivered the commencement address, praising the new alumni for their tenacity, drive, and great accomplishments over the last four years.
