In a world divided, on this we can agree — as alumni, we share a spirit of service that was cultivated in each of us by our time at Georgetown University. As you’re launched into the uncertainty that defines this moment in time, know that you are not launched alone. Hear the voices of those who’ve gone before you and let them bring courage, valor and hope – we believe in you! Set your face like flint, and do the hard thing. The world is waiting for your ideas, your imagination, your creativity and your hard work. Make the choice to give it even if there’s no one to cheer, even when it’s quiet and bleak. You were born for this; you can do it!
