Global Liv
ing Community

The Global Living Community is an intercultural living and learning environment for 22 Georgetown undergraduate students, both international and U.S. citizens.  Located on the 2nd floor of Copley Hall, the GLC is a part of Georgetown's Special Interest Housing Program.  The primary goal of the GLC is to create a community in which intercultural understanding extends beyond the classroom into daily student life.  For more information about the GLC, please contact Stephanie Hertz. GLC activities in 2007-2008 include:

Fall Retreat The GLC begins the year with a weekend retreat at a cabin in the George Washington National Forest.  Members get to know one another through interactive games, cultural exercises, and outdoor activities, as well as plan for community events and activities throughout the year.
 
International Reviews Each month, a member of Georgetown's faculty is invited to share dinner and conversation about current international issues.  International Reviews broaden knowledge of international affairs and provide an opportunity to interact with faculty outside the classroom setting. 
 
Community Service Activities GLC residents participate in a variety of service activities in and around the D.C. community. Some activities include environmental cleanups, a visit to D.C. public schools, and an event to commemorate International Day for Tolerance.
Spring Retreat In January, the GLC gathers for a day-long retreat to reflect on their experiences thus far and plan for events in the spring semester.
 
Culture Nights Two or three times per semester, the GLC floor residents organize an evening of food, art, and music to highlight the culture of one ethnic group or region of the world.
 
International Film Series The GLC sponsors a series of international films for the Georgetown campus.  The international films are shown free of charge.
