Serving the Global Common Good
As places of learning and dialogue, universities
can expand our understanding of globalization beyond the practical to
encompass issues of justice, human dignity, and human flourishing. The
idea of the global common good, part of Georgetown’s Catholic and Jesuit
identity that is shared across other leading traditions, animates a deep
commitment to service to the wider world.
Georgetown’s location in Washington, D.C. and extensive
international partnerships give the university unparalleled opportunity to
convene leading scholars and practitioners for dialogue and collaboration across
political, religious, and other divides, on the most pressing international
issues of the day.
In their research and teaching faculty and students participate in international networks and global collaborations around issues ranging from global development and global health to conflict resolution and interreligious understanding.
Georgetown’s campus in Doha, Qatar, serves as a bridge to the Muslim world, and the university has an extensive presence in other world regions as well. More than 15,000 Georgetown alumni live and work outside the United States and contribute to the their communities through work in government, business, and civil society.
