    BERKLEY CENTER for RELIGION, PEACE & WORLD AFFAIRS GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY FALL 2007 Junior Year Abroad Network | Annual Report 2006–2007 BERKLEY CENTER REPORTS Charles Prahl The Berkley Center’s Junior Year Abroad Network (JYAN) program offers Georgetown students the unique opportu- nity to augment their study abroad experience through careful thought and reflection on the religious dimensions of the cultures they become immersed in while away from the hilltop. The program helps participants discover insights about their host countries and, more importantly, themselves. Sarah Delaney One of the best things I learned about myself abroad is that I am a hard-core Hoya at heart. I loved meeting new people, eating new foods, traveling to new places, and immersing myself in a new culture...and all the while found myself wanting to discuss and analyze these expe- riences in the way we do every day here at Georgetown. Students really take it upon themselves to explore the world around them and have enlightened conversations about significant issues. That’s something I never realized set apart a Hoya before my time abroad. Katharine Davis The more time I spend abroad, the more time I find myself dedicating to confronting and accepting my own strengths and weaknesses. … At the moment, I don’t fully understand my place or purpose in the world, but I have come to realize that I will never be able to do so without the varied experiences that come only from living and traveling in other countries. Flávia Menezes JYAN encouraged me to be a conscious observer of everything that was happening around me during my new life in Paris.

  • 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.
