For Generations To Come: Campaign Kickoff Weekend
Georgetown University publicly launched "For Generations to Come: The Campaign for Georgetown" over the weekend of October 27-30, 2011. Events included an "Afternoon of Ideas" conference, a campus celebration including lights on Healy Hall, and a gala dinner at the National Portrait Gallery.
- In August we invited Georgetown alumni, students and friends to Campaign Kickoff Weekend with a website and an invitation video:
