Making his first Georgetown Day appearance, Jack Jr. – Georgetown’s mascot-in-training – warms up to his bulldog toy.

Now in it’s 12th year, students, faculty, staff and friends of the Georgetown community gather to celebrate the event, which takes place at the end of each spring semester but before finals and graduation.

“Georgetown Day is a wonderful celebration of the end of the year,” says Clara Gustafson (SFS’13), Georgetown University Student Association (GUSA) president. “Students and the rest of the Georgetown community love the opportunity to mingle on a sunny day on Healy and Copley lawns.”
