GWA Fall Social
Join us on the Car Barn patio + pavilion for a casual, unstructured open house style gathering to meet other colleagues, craft together, and take a moment away from your screens! Who: Staff/faculty and student-workers are all welcome! Current and prospective members are especially encouraged to join. Please feel free to bring your lunch, reusable water bottles, crafting materials, table games, or stickers/resources from your office! We will provide:
- Light snacks
- Crafting materials like magazines + origami making
- Table topics
- GWA info + leaders to chat with
Access and vibe: The outdoor patio is fully ADA accessible through the Prospect Street lobby and side door, and via the M Street elevator. The Patio is lit by bright street lamps that turn on automatically. There will also be a ramp available from the patio to the pavilion. This event will not involve any presented content or speeches.
Email gwacomms@georgetown.edu if you have any additional accessibility requests we should know about to ensure you can enjoy this gathering. It is intentionally unstructured and screen-free, offering an opportunity to share your lunch hour with good company and destress. Please feel free to drop in as little or as long as you’d like – there is no pressure to stay the entire time. Computers discouraged 🙂 No registration required, please just respond via calendar invite to help us gauge headcount!
Spilling The Tea on Menopause and Perimenopause with GUMC #PharmedOut
Tuesday, October 6, 4:30-6 p.m. Pharmacology Library (NE401) in the Med-Dent building, just steps away from the Hilltop Campus. Registrants will be encouraged to meet up beforehand to head over together.
Join us for a cozy faculty chat at Georgetown’s Medical Center to explore topics related to midlife and the menopausal transition. Has menopause been overmedicalized? What are the real benefits and harms of hormone therapy? Learn more about what’s real and what isn’t about the current hype on menopause and perimenopause from Pharmacology and Physiology Professor Adriane Fugh-Berman, MD (M’88) and Patricia Bencivenga, MS (G’21) from PharmedOut for a feminist, evidence-based take on menopause and perimenopause. We will provide a variety of teas and hot water to enjoy an afternoon sip. You also might remember Dr. Fugh-Berman from the GWA x GUMC garden tour.
REGISTER NOW! Tea and light snacks will of course be provided.
