In a ceremony marked by the features of luxury and dazzling, Georgetown University in Qatar welcomed a number of newly admitted students on the day of the Georgetown Ambassadors Program, where 97 students from among the accepted students in the class of 2027 joined, either in person or online, to start shaping the sense of community and prepare them for a successful university experience. This program is designed to deliver the unique higher education mission of Georgetown and Qatar Foundation, and to give students and their families an insight into the Georgetown experience. As part of this event, students communicated with academic advisors to learn about the university’s resources and capabilities, and to learn about the various clubs, societies and activities available to them. They also met other new students, fostering connections that would last throughout their time at the university. About this day, says Dr. Safwan Al-Masri, Dean of Georgetown University in Qatar, said: “It was great to meet the newly joined students as they prepared to start university life at Georgetown-Qatar. By offering many resources, opportunities and mentorship, our students have the tools to pursue their passions and shape their future.” This year’s activities, which took place during the month of Ramadan, included an Iftar banquet that gave attendees the opportunity to share a meal with deans, staff, and current students, as well as random sessions, during which attendees could drink coffee and tea, chat with members of the Georgetown family, and enjoy activities specially prepared for this gathering. For a variety of accepted students living abroad, the activities of this Welcome Program started the day before with a private online dialogue between them.
