Hi future Hoyas !! My name is Anjali Gulasingam, and I’m a senior in the School of Foreign Service majoring in Science, Technology, and International Affairs (concentrating in Energy and Environment) with minors in Economics and Physics on the pre-Electrical Engineering track. I’m from Texas, born and raised :)), so I was incredibly excited to move to DC and experience all it has to offer. I love early morning runs (or walks!) at the National Mall, visiting the monuments, museums, and markets, or just discovering new spots around the city with my friends. But for me, there’s something about returning to the calmer, cobblestoned streets of the Georgetown neighborhood and having that college campus feel that can’t be beaten. I was first attracted to Georgetown partly by its location but mostly because of its access to resources and endless opportunities. Coming into university undeclared, I wondered if it was possible to hold onto my seemingly opposing interests all while developing new ones on campus. Georgetown has truly given me the best of both worlds as I combined my love for STEM and the humanities with a STIA major and as I joined clubs such as the Caravel, H*yas for Choice, and GAAP to explore and pursue my passions. Looking back on the past three years, I can say that – without a doubt – my best memories are because of the incredibly supportive and accepting people I have met. While it may seem daunting to move across the country alone, I promise that you will slowly but surely find a place and start to build a community for yourself on the Hilltop. I am always here to help in any way possible, so please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or just want to talk. Wishing you all the best, and I hope to see you on the Hilltop soon :)) HOYA SAXA !!

Hi future Hoyas! My name is Caroline Castellino, and I’m a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences majoring in Biology of Global Health and minoring in Science, Technology, and International Affairs. I’m from Evanston, Illinois, which is right outside of Chicago, and although I am a Midwesterner at heart, I have fallen in love with DC during my time at Georgetown. Now that I have three years at Georgetown under my belt, I have found that the incredible location has held true. Apart from the benefits of the city, I have loved experiencing all of the extracurricular and educational opportunities available to me on the Hilltop. Participating in both GAAP and NSO as well as connecting with professors and taking classes that are unique to Georgetown only made my three years get better and better as time went on. I also spent time away from campus studying abroad in Sevilla, Spain, last fall, allowing me to immerse myself in the Spanish language and culture and making me even more grateful for all of the opportunities our school offers. However, my biggest takeaway from my experience so far is that it really is the people who make Georgetown feel so much like home. You’ll find such a tight-knit community the second you walk through the front gates–it is full of people who continuously support you, make you laugh, and want to see you succeed. Please feel free to reach out to me about anything–I would love to chat with each and every one of you! Hoya Saxa!

Hello prospective Hoyas! My name is Michael Woch, and I’m a senior at Georgetown’s School of Foreign Service, originally from the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan. I am majoring in Science, Technology, and International Affairs and minoring in English. In addition to serving as the Co-Vice President for GAAP, I can be found caring for our beloved mascot, Jack the Bulldog, as a member of the Jack Crew, leading the recruitment of volunteer swim instructors for Swimmers Nurtured by Undergraduate Students (SNUGS) Georgetown, helping develop my classmates’ spirit of giving as a stewardship chair for the Senior Class of 2026 Fund, planning and small group-leading for retreat weekends through Catholic Ministry, or working for the Georgetown Jesuit Community. Last year, I had the extraordinary opportunity to study abroad at Georgetown’s Villa Le Balze near Florence, Italy. From traditional college lectures to small seminars and discussion-based courses, classes at Georgetown are often experiences of profound academic and personal growth. Our mostly-contained main campus gives way to a cozy neighborhood and bustling metropolis. I am inspired by the Spirit of Georgetown and the sense that every Hoya’s education is for a greater purpose. Our community is guided by a set of principles and answers a call to service, which makes the Georgetown experience truly unique. If any of these reasons sound interesting, then Georgetown might just be the place for you! Please feel free to send an email if you think I might be able to help you better understand what it means to be a Georgetown Hoya. I look forward to welcoming you to the Hilltop and Hoya Saxa!

Hey future Hoyas! My name is Christopher Lin, and I’m a sophomore in the School of Nursing, majoring in Nursing with a minor in Bioethics. I’m from the Philadelphia suburbs, and while I’m not a huge city person, I have enjoyed every moment of my time at Georgetown. Every part of my experience at Georgetown has been full of support, and I could not be happier with my choice to come here. It’s a quieter part of the city, so I get to enjoy DC—its history, diversity, and culture—all while being able to return to a more tranquil environment and warm campus community. There is so much to do, learn, and eat in Georgetown and DC as a whole; Georgetown is one of a kind. On campus, I’m involved with GAAP, I serve as an academic mentor for human biology students, and I work for Health Education Services. All of these have connected me with some of the most amazing people. Outside of academics and extracurriculars, I enjoy watching the planes at Reagan Airport, having a calm movie night, or just walking around the city. I am more than happy to answer your questions and talk about Georgetown, so please feel free to reach out. Hope to see you around on the Hilltop! Hoya Saxa!

Hi future Hoyas!! My name is Suzie Ahn, and I’m a Senior in the College majoring in Government and minoring in Psychology and Anthropology. I’m from Paoli, PA, near Philly (go birds)! As someone who is really close to family, I was super nervous about going away for college. But, Georgetown has become one of my favorite places. It is my second home. Through clubs (like GAAP!), classes, and random events, I have found friends who make every day special. From going on a quick boba tea run to finding a new study spot, I think Georgetown is the most beautiful neighborhood to be in for college. It also provides such great academic/professional opportunities and wonderful professors. For example, I had the opportunity to travel to the CNN headquarters in DC and meet different reporters! At Georgetown, you can go down any path you desire. There is room to explore different curiosities or interests no matter what! Around campus, I am involved in GAAP and the Blue & Gray Tour Guide Society, so you may see me cheering under the balloon arch or walking backward on the front lawn. I adore the people I have met in these clubs. They make me love Georgetown so much. I’m also in GU Politics and the GU Pre-Law Society to immerse myself in my love for politics, law, and policy. In my free time, I love shopping on M street, going to concerts, trying new foods at the farmers market, or hanging out at the CSJ with my boss’ dog, Justice. Please feel free to reach out via email if you have any questions or concerns. Hoya Saxa!!!!

Hey future Hoyas!! My name is Malín Morell, I’m a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences studying Government and Sociology, with a potential minor in Justice and Peace Studies, and I’m originally from Berkeley, CA. The second I stepped through the front gates during my GAAP weekend, I could tell this place has a strong community, incredible academics, and an inviting social scene. I have found people from so many different backgrounds who have opened my eyes to new perspectives, classes that transformed into more than I could have imagined and brought me mentors and an outlet for incredible conversations, and amazing clubs (like GAAP!!) where I have shared my passion for Georgetown, politics, and community with so many others. I love everything the Hilltop and DC have to offer, from cafés with fun seasonal drinks to an incredible assortment of museums and monuments. I was originally drawn to Georgetown’s guiding principles about working for something larger than yourself, diversity of thought, and developing one’s whole self while maintaining a commitment to social justice. These all shine through in the classes I’ve taken, the conversations I have with peers and professors, and the university’s commitment to its students. If any of this resonates with you or piques your interest, then you, too, just might find your home on the Hilltop! If you have any questions at all or just want to reach out and chat, please feel free to send me an email, and I’m happy to help in any way I can! Hoya Saxa!!

Hello future Hoyas! My name is Aaron Wireman, and I am a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences, double majoring in Justice and Peace Studies and Psychology, with a minor in Law, Justice, and Society. I am originally from the beautiful state of West Virginia, just outside of Charleston. Although moving to Washington, D.C. felt like a big step, it has turned out to be the most rewarding decision I have ever made. When I first arrived at Georgetown, I was overwhelmed, unsure of what I wanted to study, and nervous about finding my place. However, within just one year, I have transferred from the School of Foreign Service to the College of Arts & Sciences, met people from all over the world, found my closest friends, and discovered what I am truly passionate about. Some of my favorite memories so far include early morning and late night runs through the city, visiting local markets, trying new restaurants, exploring museums on the weekends, catching performances at the Kennedy Center, and so much more. Georgetown is a place where I feel genuinely supported and constantly inspired. It has truly become a second home that has helped me grow in ways I never imagined. I promise there is a space here for you, too. I am always happy to answer questions or just to chat, so please feel free to reach out. I truly cannot wait to see you on the Hilltop. Hoya Saxa!!!

Hello future Hoyas! My name is Antonio Cardoso, and I’m a senior in the SFS majoring in International Politics with a minor in Justice and Peace Studies. Although I am originally from Brazil, I have lived in Florida for the last 12 years. So, as someone who has never lived somewhere cold, moving to DC was definitely scary for me! But that didn’t matter to me once I visited the Hilltop. I immediately fell in love with Georgetown and all it has to offer. In fact, my GAAP weekend was where I truly learned how unique Georgetown is, and it made me realize I was meant to be a Hoya! I learned about some of the fascinating opportunities, academics, and extracurriculars that Georgetown had to offer and fell in love. Now, I am beyond happy I decided to come here for school. With opportunities like participating in unique classes and clubs to seeing Bill Clinton up close, Georgetown is a place like no other. Personally, my own involvement in organizations like GAAP and the Student Activities Commission has really enriched my time here and helped me explore different perspectives and meet new people. Outside of these clubs and my academics, Georgetown also provides us with the opportunity to explore amazing places off campus, whether that be at the National Mall, one of the many museums in DC, or even somewhere in Maryland or Virginia! Though moving to college can be super overwhelming, I found that the tight-knit and welcoming community at Georgetown makes the transition so much easier. I can tell you from personal experience that this is a one-of-a-kind place, and I’ve enjoyed every second of my time here! I hope you fall in love with the Hilltop as I did, and if you have any questions or just want to talk about Georgetown (or anything at all!), please feel free to reach out to me! HOYA SAXA!!!

Hi future Hoyas! My name is Saanchi Jain, and I’m a senior in the School of Health majoring in Health Care Management and Policy on the pre-med track. I’m from Hockessin, Delaware, and I went to the Charter School of Wilmington (go calculators!). I was definitely a nervous wreck during the college application process; however, I am forever grateful that I chose Georgetown for those next four years. Apart from the best club on campus — GAAP 🙂— I am a member of GU Jawani, Rangila, and more. (Reach out if you’re interested in any or want to learn more!) As you can see, Georgetown has something for everyone, and as soon as you step foot on campus, there are endless ways to find your Georgetown family. Since I have lived in the suburbs of Delaware for the majority of my life, I was very nervous about coming to the city and finding my people. However, Georgetown’s diverse student population has given me some of my best friends, who call home London, San Francisco, Chicago, and more. Georgetown’s location is also one of its most rewarding features. Whether it is exploring the myriad of shops on M Street or taking the GUTS bus to the Museums, there is always something new to check out. Please let me know if you have any questions. I can’t wait to get to know you all! HOYA SAXA!

Activities: GAAP, Kappa Alpha Theta, H*yas for Choice

Hi, future Hoyas! My name is Ava Camp, and I am a sophomore from Ellicott City, Maryland (about an hour from Georgetown!). I am in the College of Arts & Sciences, majoring in Psychology on the pre-med track. When I applied to colleges, my sister was already a sophomore at Georgetown. I had visited her many times and fell in love with the campus. Through spending time on campus with her and hearing about her experiences at Georgetown, I hoped I also would be lucky enough to spend my next four years there. However, through my GAAP weekend, I was able to confirm what I already thought I knew: that Georgetown was the place for me. Ever since committing, I have never looked back. Moving to a new place without your family and friends for the first time is scary for everyone, but Georgetown has made the transition feel so much easier. During my freshman year, I participated in CURA, a pre-orientation program, and a first-year seminar in the Disability Studies program, all of which were ways to meet new students, faculty, and resources around campus to better integrate me and others into the Georgetown community. Outside of GAAP, I am a member of Kappa Alpha Theta, one of the two sororities on campus, and I table weekly for H*yas for Choice. When I am not in class, I love to try new restaurants around DC with friends, shop on M and Wisconsin, go to basketball games, and study at local coffee shops while drinking an iced vanilla latte. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions at all—from the application process to student life to class recommendations or just reach out to say hi! I am always here to help, and I can’t wait to get to know as many of you as possible. Looking forward to welcoming you all to the Hilltop soon 🙂 HOYA SAXA!

My name is Skye Johnstone, and I’m a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences majoring in Biology of Global Health with minors in Spanish and Government. I’m from Salt Lake City, Utah, and by the end of my senior year of high school, I was ready to trade in mountains for monuments. Packing up my life and moving across the country to Georgetown was both exhilarating and daunting. Initially, the beautiful campus, unbeatable location, and endless academic opportunities drew me in. I also loved the flexibility to take classes that interest you and shift majors if you so desire. Beyond academics, I was eager to jump into Georgetown’s club culture. My first semester, I joined several organizations and found my place in Make-A-Wish Georgetown, H*yas for Choice, and Kappa Kappa Gamma. I’m most excited about GAAP because I can’t wait to share the Georgetown love with incoming students, especially those from areas that don’t traditionally send many students here. At the end of the day, my favorite thing about Georgetown is the people. I’ve never met so many driven, intelligent, and unique individuals in one place. Whether we’re studying at Compass Coffee, hopping around M Street on the weekends, or hunkering down for a late night at Lau, my friends and peers constantly remind me that Georgetown is where I belong. I’m confident that soon, you’ll feel the same. If you have any questions or simply need a hand during the transition period, please feel free to reach out. I can’t wait to welcome you to the Hilltop!

Hi, future Hoyas! My name is Siena Benvenuti, and I’m from Sacramento, California! Here at Georgetown, I’m a sophomore in the College of Arts and Sciences studying Government with minors in Spanish and Science, Technology, & International Affairs! I’ve always wanted to try out life on the other coast, so moving to DC was a great choice! I thought moving from the CA state capital to the country capital was an extraordinary opportunity. DC has so much to offer, but some of my favorite things are exploring the monuments and numerous museums, spending time in the different neighborhoods in DC, trying new restaurants, and walking by the waterfront on a nice day! Georgetown is such a special place because it’s ideally situated in a quaint and quiet neighborhood with access to and the resources of a big city! I find that it’s the perfect balance, filled with endless opportunities for every kind of person. I was nervous about Georgetown’s “Core” and requirements to explore a variety of classes prior to declaring a major, but having just completed my first year. While it may seem scary and nerve-wracking to move across the country without knowing anyone, it was the best decision I could have ever made for myself, and I know that you all will agree once you arrive on the Hilltop. I am more than happy to chat about anything Georgetown-related or otherwise, so please don’t hesitate to reach out!! Hope to see you all on the Hilltop soon, and looking forward to talking! Hoya Saxa!!!
