They also support rich development opportunities that help students to understand how to work in groups, in addition to cultivating practical skills, such as communication skills, teamwork and leadership skills. In this way, students’ talents and energies are discovered and used to their benefit. The student clubs have become more diversified in line with the widening range of disciplines taught by the University and the needs of the local community. - These clubs are established under the supervision of the Deanship of Student Affairs, by a decision from the President and upon the recommendation of the Dean, and they are based at the University. Vision: To increase the efficacy of student clubs and increase their number, with clubs that complement the University's taught disciplines.

  • Inside the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service: How Its Contemporary Deans Shaped the School
    INSIDE THE EDMUND A. WALSH SCHOOL OF FOREIGN SERVICE: HOW ITS CONTEMPORARY DEANS SHAPED THE SCHOOL A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Liberal Studies By Clare Ogden, B.A. Georgetown University Washington, D.C. April 1, 2018 INSIDE THE EDMUND A. WALSH SCHOOL OF FOREIGN SERVICE: HOW ITS CONTEMPORARY LEADERS SHAPED THE SCHOOL Clare Ogden, B.A. Mentor: Robert L. Gallucci, Ph.D. ABSTRACT During the late 1960’s, the President of Georgetown University noted that the School of Foreign Service was in a period of decline with applications decreasing; students in the School were unhappy and highly critical; the faculty was divided into bitterly opposed factions; a curriculum reform, which had been discussed for a long time, was at a standstill; and the school lacked strong administration, having had several acting deans (Krogh 2018, 36). With the appointment of Peter Krogh as Dean in 1970, came the mandate to completely revise the curriculum, to unify the faculty, and to restore the morale and discipline within the school, among both the students and the faculty. The question was, could the School be restored by the transformative leadership of a new dean, and would subsequent deans lead it steadily forward to become the best institution of its kind, with a focus on the University’s Catholic and Jesuit values. Relevant theories which inform the practice of leadership in higher education and Georgetown University’s Catholic Jesuit values will provide the background for an analysis of how today’s School of Foreign Service emerged from its “period of decline” to become the pre-eminent institution of its kind in the world.
