Diverse Art Brightens Multicultural Center

On a campus that has become increasingly aware and active in promoting pluralism, the Center for Multicultural Equity and Access continues to contribute to the education of minority students by offering academic and financial support, creating various programs and organizing activities.

Dancing to the Beat of Coconuts and Bamboo

For Jacquey Anne Julio (COL ’10), being a performance coordinator for Club Filipino combines both of her origins: her Filipino heritage and the spectacle of her hometown of Northern Las Vegas, Nev. Currently choreographing three dances for the club’s annual Filipino Cultural Night, or Bayanihan, Julio has her hands and head full with stomping beats, banging coconuts and clicking castanets.

Amusing Art Showcases Professor’s Talent

Dancer ‘Answers the Call’ on the Stage

Save the last dance for Keisha Browne (COL ’08), a member of Black Movements Dance Theater. From the Bronx to the barre here at Georgetown, Keisha has taken her love of music and dance and made it an integral part of her time on the Hilltop. This week, The Guide gets into the groove with Browne as she discusses the group’s upcoming show and the importance of dance on campus.

The Hilltop’s Lord of the Dance Takes a Spin

While the way to a man’s heart is through his appetite, it could be said that the way to a woman’s is through dance. This theory brought Jason Cheberenchick (COL ’09) to the GU Ballroom Dance Club, but he surprised himself when he developed a love of the sport and ended up remaining in the club.

An Artistic Anthem to the Power of the Pen

Although The Anthem is not necessarily the most recognizable publication on campus today, its legacy spans 136 years of Hoya history, an impressive feat in itself. Georgetown’s literary magazine was founded in 1872, (beating The Hoya by 48 years) and with the leadership of this year’s editor Stephanie Grant (COL ’10), readership has nearly doubled over the past semester.

Keerat Pannu (SFS ’10) is trying to change the world.

This week The Guide, takes a look at helping kids through the power of global education.

Taking Fitness to a Stronger Level

Because All the World's A Stage...and Children Enjoy a Good Show, Too

Play time is just beginning. When Evan Mousseau (MSB ’11) came to Georgetown this fall, education was not just about his classes. Having worked for a children’s theater program both during the summer and throughout his high school career, he has brought his interest and talent here to the Hilltop through his involvement with the Georgetown Players, an on-campus acting troupe.
