Teaching and Learning Innovations
New ways of advancing the work of formation and scholarship.
Marino Workshop
The Marino Workshop is the first academic experience new students engage in when coming to Georgetown. During the summer prior to matriculation, the university asks all new students to read a selected text by an international author. At the beginning of the fall semester, the author comes to campus to discuss the novel and the life of writing, creating an important community-building experience.
Georgetown Dialogues Initiative
The ability to navigate challenging conversations across is embedded in Georgetown University’s values and mission statement. In fact, one of the first goals identified in the Georgetown Core Curriculum Learning Goals is for students to learn “to communicate and act with civility, respect difference, address questions of diversity, and engage in difficult dialogues around challenging ideas.” In our increasingly polarized world, this skill is more important than ever.
