The SFS Dean's Office no longer has any tickets left for inaugural events. This year, we will have a particularly full weekend of events as Dr. John J. DeGioia s inauguration as the forty-eighth President of Georgetown University will be woven into the weekend festivities. Challenges and opportunities Freshman year is a time of transition , both academically and socially for our students. These challenges, and new opportunities, will be explored through seminars and discussions over the weekend.
Sophomore year is also an exciting and challenging time .
This is when students choose their majors, make decisions about certificate and joint-degree programs, consider overseas study options, and begin thinking about life after graduation. Because we would like to involve parents in these important decisions , we hope you will be able to join us for the weekend and explore together with your son or daughter the many opportunities which are available. The weekend program begins on Friday afternoon with inaugural events and an evening reception for parents with the deans of the School. On Saturday morning, we will have presentations by faculty, students, and other members of the Georgetown community , intended to give you a sense of the academic and co-curricular life of the university. On Saturday afternoon, you will have the opportunity to attend President DeGioia s inauguration at Constitution Hall, followed by an evening concert with Dave Brubeck , or you may choose to remain on campus and watch one of Georgetown s varsity sporting events .
