Who can attend Hoya Saxa Weekend?

Hoya Saxa Weekend is a special opportunity for underrepresented students of color to experience campus life. Please note that the Hoya Saxa Weekend program highlights Georgetown’s dynamic student of color community — if you are not particularly interested in this experience, you may choose not to participate in this weekend.

Unfortunately, we are not able to offer a program for parents and/or families. Family members interested in visiting campus should visit the GAAP website.

Please keep in mind that while we do our best to accommodate everyone but our resources are limited. Participation in the program will be granted on a firstcome, first served basis.
