Welcome Week
Welcome to Residence Life at Georgetown University!
To give you some time to learn Georgetown and Washington, DC before training begins, the training committee has planned an optional Welcome Week of events. These events are designed to give you some time with your Area Coordinator, staff and colleagues, as well get some details done before training begins and your staff arrives. Please read below to learn more about the options available.
Once you have looked over the schedule, please RSVP to us by July 17, 2009 at reslife.georgetown.edu/prostaff.html with what events you will plan to attend, if any. You are also welcome to change your plans after you RSVP.
