Georgetown seeks to provide an enriching learning environment that brings together students, faculty and staff with a wide range of interests and backgrounds. With students from more than 130 countries, the university works to provide students with a multicultural learning environment that will prepare them well for their lives after Georgetown. The university’s commitment to diversity is manifested in its student body—which includes people of many different ethnic and religious backgrounds—and in its recruitment of outstanding women and minorities to join its community of faculty and staff.
