About Us

GWA is made up of staff, faculty, and student members from all corners of campus who share an interest in professional development, gendered issues, and camaraderie.

GWA is led by our Steering Committee, which is made up of current Georgetown University staff members of all levels who serve as Chair(s) of their respective committees, as well as our participating student fellows.

This team provides leadership, supports, guidance, and ongoing integration of the GWA mission into each of our committees and their initiatives.

GWA fosters connections, learning, and professional development with distinct attention towards uplifting and supporting women and those with historically marginalized gender identities.

We highlight the work of our GU colleagues in our bi-weekly newsletter, host social and professional events, and offer two distinct opportunities for individual mentorship — our Staff Mentoring Program and our Student Fellowship Program.

As a part of GWA, you have the opportunity to take on flexible leadership positions and/or contribute to developing internal programming that supports our mission.

GWA partners with both internal and external groups or individuals that support our goals of helping you develop personally, professionally and addressing issues of gender equity and justice in higher education.

This includes, but is not limited to, our participating alumni, related campus departments such as the Women’s Center and the LGBTQ+ Resource Center, and the Center for Social Justice, as well as various student-run organizations. You can learn more about our grant-funded partners on the grants tab.
