    Tuesday, December 13, 2022 | 7-8 p.m. ET | Virtual

    Alumni joined the Georgetown University Black Alumni Council for a virtual Inaugural Black Alumni Council Community Forum to learn more about the Council and its future plans.

    Black Alumni Council Chair Mannone A. Butler (B’94, L’99) and Vice Chair Winoka Wendy Wilkes (SFS’91) were joined by the BAC’s inaugural Board of Advisors, who are working together on ways Black alumni can remain engaged with the Council, the Alumni Association, and the university. They provided an overview of Council goals for the upcoming year.

    Future virtual community forums, like this one, will be a gathering place where Hoyas can have their voices heard, and opportunities to ask important questions.

  • 2022 | The Intersection of Academy and Activism: A Critical Conversation with Black Leaders and Scholars on the Hilltop

    September 20, 2022 | Virtual

    The Chronicle of Higher Education recently reported that, as of 2019, Black women are disproportionately underrepresented on University campuses, making up only 2.1% of tenured associate and full professors at U.S. universities.

    In this conversation, Black women faculty and administrators on the Hilltop discuss what it means to be a scholar or leader in the academy in the midst of heightened calls for racial justice and equity. The panel explores how their scholarship and activism converge, on and off-campus, and how their work may inform social change.

    This conversation was moderated by Melissa Bradley (B’89), Professor at the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University, and featured Dr. Nadia Brown, Professor of Government, chair of the Women’s and Gender Studies Program and affiliate in the African American Studies program at Georgetown University and Dr. Adanna Johnson, Associate Vice President for Student Equity and Inclusion and Leader of the Office of Student Equity and Inclusion (OSEI) at Georgetown University.

    This panel was part of the Critical Conversations series being hosted in the lead-up to Georgetown’s Black Alumni Summit. Learn more about the 2022 Georgetown University Women’s Forum at womensforum.georgetown.edu.
