Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) at McDonough
Georgetown’s McDonough School of Business is committed to fostering a community in diversity, one of many Jesuit values embedded in Georgetown’s centuries-old tradition of serving the common good.
To us, this means fostering a community that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive. Many organizations talk about their DEI efforts, but at McDonough, we are actively examining our history and culture to ensure our actions match our words. We are committed to understanding the diverse perspectives and experiences of our faculty, staff, students, and alumni; transparency in our work; and thoughtfully enacting meaningful change within our community and throughout the world.

Ongoing Initiatives
Georgetown McDonough facilitates a number of initiatives aimed at expanding DEI efforts across composition, communication, curriculum, co-curriculum, careers, community, and culture.
Defining DEI
“It’s my hope and belief that our students, faculty, staff, and alumni will lead the way in creating a fairer world. Our community will be women and men for others. We will be allies to one another. We will set an example. We won’t tolerate intolerance. We will speak up against injustice. We will be the best in the world and the best for the world.”
Paul Almeida, Dean and William R. Berkley Chair
Diversity by the Numbers
*U.S. Diversity signifies African American, Asian American, Hispanic American, and Native American
DEI Leadership
Georgetown McDonough’s DEI strategy is guided by faculty, staff, and student leadership committees aimed at being responsive to the evolving needs of our community.
