Diversity Resources

Georgetown University

Georgetown provides a strong network of diversity-related resources and services to support its campus community. Faculty, staff, and administrators collaborate with students to foster a welcoming and inclusive community.

The Office of Institutional Diversity, Equity & Affirmative Action (IDEAA) partners with students, faculty, and university leaders to achieve justice and equality in educational and employment opportunities. It also leads efforts to create an inclusive academic and work environment.

The Center for Multicultural Equity and Access (CMEA) enhances the education of students historically denied access to Georgetown University because of their race or ethnicity. CMEA provides mentoring, multicultural programming, diversity education, and academic support. CMEA works in tandem with the Office of Student Equity and Inclusion to create a community committed to the education of the whole person and care for others.

As a Catholic and Jesuit institution, Georgetown University values the dignity of all members of the university community, regardless of immigration status. The University is committed to supporting undocumented students and the unique challenges they may face, and has convened a working group of representatives across campus, led by Jennifer Crewalk, Associate Director for Undocumented Student Services.

The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning (LGBTQ) Resource Center provides education, programming, support services, and a voice for students, faculty, staff, and alumni of all sexual orientations and gender identities. The center helps community members understand sexual orientation and gender identity in the context of the many elements of a person’s identity. It seeks to establish a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment for LGBTQ community members and promote better understanding and integration within the entire campus community.

The Women’s Center supports, educates, and empowers women of all cultures, races, sexual orientations, and ages and provides a safe environment while respecting women’s abilities, spirituality, and differences. It provides both male and female students, faculty, and staff with information, services, and programs that address matters of concern to women. The center celebrates women’s achievements, works to end discrimination, and promotes social justice on campus and throughout the world.
