Message from the Dean
Dear SCS Community & Guests:
I am proud to share Waves of Change: The 2023-2024 Dean’s Report.
The challenges we face as a society are complex and daunting. On the other hand, they also present vital opportunities for transformation and innovation–to dare to imagine bold solutions where none seemed possible before. In these times of change, we are called even more to lean into who we are as Georgetown–reaffirming our core commitment to the common good.
Highlighting the 2023-2024 academic year, this Dean’s Report features our community in action. Our School is rooted in a 500-year-old tradition of Catholic and Jesuit education that compels each and everyone of us to ask tough questions of themselves and of their professions, rethink traditional solutions, and ultimately seek something greater than themselves.
A few inspiring stories include:
- the School’s initiatives on Artificial Intelligence both inside the classroom and beyond;
- the extensive support offered to the School’s veteran and military-connected student body–one of the largest at Georgetown;
- the Center for Social Impact Communication’s milestone anniversary, celebrating 15 years of empowering students to effect change in their communities.
At this critical juncture, we are all facing waves of change, but as Georgetown, we are charged with the unique responsibility and humility to be forces for good.
Most sincerely,
Kelly J. Otter, Ph.D.
Dean
School of Continuing Studies
