Hey Prospective Hoyas!

My name is Brooke Marriott, and I am currently a senior in the School of Foreign Service, majoring in International Politics and Foreign Policy; I am also in my first year of graduate school at Georgetown in Russian and Eastern European Studies. I went to high school at The Overlake School in Redmond, WA, a small private school on the east side of Lake Washington.

When I moved from one Washington to the other in the fall of 2004, I didn't feel as though I was moving away from home so much as I felt I was moving to my second home. It is a huge decision to go to college 3,000 miles away from the West Coast, but it is one you should make with every confidence and comfort. Not only will the Georgetown community as a whole welcome you with open arms, but there is a tightly-knit, Starbucks-drinking, polar-fleece wearing group of Washingtonians always looking for another member.

Georgetown is hard to capture in a short paragraph; there is a pride that goes hand-in-hand with being a Hoya that is difficult to describe. We are a nationally and internationally diverse campus, a world-class education, a vibrant cultural center, the home of some of the greatest collegiate sports teams in the nation, and, most importantly, it is your family on the East Coast.

Whatever it is you want to pursue, be it politics or painting, classics or chemistry, Georgetown promises to be an amazing place to undertake your ambitions. On campus or in the city, we have it all here.

I look forward to seeing more Washington Hoyas!

And remember: Hoya Saxa!
