In  addition  to  Georgetown  University’s  history  and   character,  student  development  theory  is  infused  into   our  work  through  the  integration  of  Self-­‐Authorship   (Baxter-­‐Magolda)  and  knowledge  of  how  diverse   identities  &  experiences  influence  students’  formation   (Torres  &  Hernandez;  Helms;  Clinchy;  and  D’Augelli).

  Georgetown  University  Mission  Statement     Georgetown  is  a  Catholic  and  Jesuit,  student-­‐centered  research  university.  Established  in  1789  in  the  spirit  of  the  new  republic,  the  university  was   founded  on  the  principle  that  serious  and  sustained  discourse  among  people  of  different  faiths,  cultures,  and  beliefs  promotes  intellectual,  ethical   and  spiritual  understanding.  We  embody  this  principle  in  the  diversity  of  our  students,  faculty  and  staff,  our  commitment  to  justice  and  the  common   good,  our  intellectual  openness  and  our  international  character.    An  academic  community  dedicated  to  creating  and  communicating  knowledge,   Georgetown  provides  excellent  undergraduate,  graduate  and  professional  education  in  the  Jesuit  tradition  for  the  glory  of  God  and  the  well-­‐being   of  humankind.  Georgetown  educates  women  and  men  to  be  reflective  lifelong  learners,  to  be  responsible  and  active  participants  in  civic  life  and  to   live  generously  in  service  to  others.     Georgetown University Magis Measures
