What's your GC story?

Many times students come to college determined to major in X. Four years later they earn their degree in Y. Along the way, they take an array of classes that perhaps may have never interested them before coming to a liberal arts institution. Students often learn outside the classroom as well, through study abroad, volunteering, and internship. Such educational and professional discernment is something particular to liberal arts institutions—including Georgetown College. 

Five recent alumni, pictured below, have shared their stories with us. And, we're sharing them with you.  Click here to read these alumni stories. 

What's your GC story? How has your liberal arts education served you? What are you doing now? 

How would you put YOUR story in words? My journey as at Georgetown College began in...I came to Georgetown to study... After one semester of ...., I decided to look into other courses and possible professions.

Prospective Student Event + Cool kids = Great Saturday

On Saturday, Daniel, Pegs and I manned the Art Department booth to recruit prospective students! It was so much fun. I hadn't seen Pegs in...probably over a year so that was amazing. It was ok to see Daniel as well I guess. Just kidding. That was pretty great too.

In addition to passing out informational packets (that Daniel handmade by the way) we -and by we I mean Peggy and Daniel- printed these sweet Georgetown pics for everyone to take home as a souvenir. 

Here Pegs and I engaged with students and talked about how the Art Department is the coolest place on campus. 

Yay! We are the coolest kids on campus (also I got to rock the apron with the princess button so I was obviously the coolest of the coolest kids).

GC Alum: Jeremy Reiss

Via the email  I got about good things happening at GC:

"Jeremy Reiss, Class of 1998. As maybe you saw in our recent Facebook and Twitter postings, Jeremy’s design of a baseball poster (filled with slang about hitting) was featured recently on NBC Sports. Here is Jeremy’s website to see that poster and other examples of his terrific work."
