  • Report of the Working Group on Slavery, Memory, And
    REPORT OF THE WORKING GROUP ON SLAVERY, MEMORY, AND RECONCILIATION TO THE PRESIDENT OF GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY Washington, D.C. June 3, 2016 REPORT OF THE WORKING GROUP ON SLAVERY, MEMORY, AND RECONCILIATION TO THE PRESIDENT OF GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY Washington, D.C. June 3, 2016 Dr. John J. DeGioia, the president of Georgetown University, assembled the Working Group on Slavery, Memory, and Reconciliation in September 2015. His charging letter outlined three tasks for the Working Group over the course of the academic year: Make recommendations on how best to acknowledge and recognize the university’s historical relationship to the institution of slavery. Examine and interpret the history of certain sites on the campus. Convene events and opportunities for dialogue on these issues. This report offers an overview of the Working Group’s activities, reflections on its mandate and work over the last academic year, and recommendations to the President on how the university community should continue its engagement with this history and its legacy. Although submission of this report concludes the Working Group’s responsibilities, the Working Group understands the report as offering direction and encouragement for the continuing efforts of the university. The report is organized in four sections. The first section sketches the Working Group’s activities over the seven months between its charging meeting on September 24, 2016, and the transmission of this report to the President. The second section offers the Working Group’s reflections on its seven months of consultation and deliberation, organized around the three concepts in the Working Group’s name: slavery, memory, and reconciliation.

  • Sustainability Action Plan Jill Mcsorley August 2016
    Sustainability Action Plan Jill McSorley August 2016 Executive Summary According to the university President, Dr. John J. DeGioia, “Environmental sustainability is one of the defining challenges of our time. At Georgetown we are committed to engaging in research, teaching and operational practices that address this challenge and help us minimize our impact on the environment” (Georgetown University). Despite unique challenges in the Qatari environment, Georgetown University in Qatar can be committed to environmental sustainability. This Sustainability Action Plan was written as a guide to help GUQ continue to lead Education City in environmental sustainability. There is currently no financial incentive for GUQ to reduce electricity use, water use or volume of waste. This action plan focuses on low-cost and no cost achievable action steps that GUQ can implement to improve environmental sustainability awareness and improve operations. Engagement and Education To promote sustainability awareness to the faculty and staff, the plan proposes to establish a green office program. The FIT department would host two field trips each year, and the QF HSSE department will hold a water taste test in the atrium. To engage students, GUQ will introduce sustainability into the Student Leadership Certificate Program and integrate the concept into Student Club Leader Training. Protection of Natural Resources In an effort to protect natural resources, the plan proposes a number of initiatives including: central printing, weekly tire pressure checks, improved recycling and waste stream, plug timers, door maintenance, optimized irrigation, and using reusable plates. The FIT department needs accurate data to recognize problems and successes. It must commit to regular, accurate data collection and reporting through a sustainability scorecard.
