Georgetown University in the District of Columbia Georgetown University in the District of Columbia 2015 Annual Report Georgetown University Campus Plan 2017-2036 1 Office of Community Engagement 2015 annual report EXHIBIT E: GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA Georgetown University in the District of Columbia 2015 Annual Report Report at a Glance 3 Letter from President John J. DeGioia 4 Highlights from 2014-2015 8 Creating Economic Opportunities 11 Responding to Community Needs 19 Supporting Strong and Healthy Neighborhoods 24 About the Office of Community Engagement 1 Office of Community Engagement 2015 annual report georgetown university is deeply committed to advancing the common good in the city of washington, dc and around the world. since our founding in 1789, we have come together as a community to pursue our jesuit tradition of serving the most marginalized members of our city, our nation, and our world. In recent years, the District of Columbia has undergone significant changes. We have witnessed the emergence of new economic sectors, the growth of our population, the rise of incomes, and an increasingly flourishing real estate market. But many challenges remain—especially for the most marginalized members of our city—and much work still needs to be done. As an anchor institution in the District, and a Catholic and Jesuit university committed to justice, we have a responsibility to respond to these challenges— to educate students to be women and men for others and to create new knowledge to better understand our world and improve the human condition. At Georgetown University, we seek to engage in this work through mutually beneficial and sustainable partnerships designed to respond to the needs of our city. Over the last year, through the extraordinary efforts of many in our community, we deepened our engagement in significant ways. Members of our faculty conducted research on issues of health, the environment, and social justice in our city and helped local nonprofit leaders develop skills to strengthen and transform their organizations. Students, through the support of community-based course projects, helped preserve affordable housing, devise community development projects for the East End neighborhood, create citizenship resources for immigrant communities, and develop lesson plans for a DC high school. In January, our University honored George Jones, CEO of Bread for the City, with the John Thompson, Jr. Legacy of a Dream award, in recognition of his dedicated service to some of the most marginalized members of our DC community. Georgetown’s commitment to our immediate neighbors—expressed through the Georgetown Community Partnership—grew even stronger and we are grateful for the opportunity to work together to ensure a safe and vibrant community for all who live in the areas surrounding our Main Campus. During this past year, we also received several important recognitions of our community engagement work, including a renewal of our Carnegie Classification for Community Engagement, the most prestigious recognition of its kind in higher education. Our Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center also earned the endorsement of the National Cancer Institute, which commended the Center for its commitment to community-based research and education. This annual report offers further details on all of these partnerships and much of our community’s work. I invite you to learn more about these and many other efforts at communityengagement.georgetown.edu. I am deeply grateful to all those in our university community who have dedicated themselves to serving the common good both here in the District of Columbia and across our world—and I look forward to all we will accomplish together in the years ahead. Sincerely, John J. DeGioia President, Georgetown University 3 Office of Community Engagement 2015 annual report Highlights from 2014-2015 Jones’ work impacts a city where approximately 19 percent of residents live below the poverty line and 28 percent of residents live with little access to nutritious food.1 George Jones of Bread for the City Receives John Thompson, Jr. Legacy of a Dream Award Each year Georgetown recognizes a local leader working to solve some of the District’s most pressing challenges with the John Thompson, Jr. Legacy of a Dream Award.
