Heya Hoyas!

Welcome to the latest edition of the Hoya Social Impact Alliance (HSIA) monthly newsletter!

The Hoya Social Impact Alliance (HSIA) is the first-ever networking community for Georgetown alumni engaged in the social impact sphere. Launched in 2023, it is comprised of alumni from all GU schools who work at nonprofit/NGOs, faith institutions, schools and universities, government agencies, corporations, foundations, and entrepreneurial ventures dedicated to the public good.

To support these alumni, interested students, and the University, the volunteer-run HSIA offers regular programming and communications (like this newsletter) for network building, professional development, and other social impact career opportunities.

CONNECT ONLINE!      

If you don’t already follow us, check out the Hoya Social Impact Alliance on LinkedIn, Hoya Gateway, and our website.

If this email was forwarded to you, be sure to subscribe here to receive future newsletters.

We are 700+ strong now
and want to know each of you better!

To better support your impactful work and career journeys, and to keep building our community, please take 2-3 minutes to fill out our membership form to share some basics (e.g., GU affiliation/school/year; home city; job title and organization; other leadership roles; and social impact interests.)

Here's the WHY:

We are looking to create sub-networks to foster more connections at the micro level for cities and regions, and at the macro level for specific social impact sectors (e.g., Education, Philanthropy). In addition, this info will inform our programming and other content creation, and help us highlight your and others' expertise within this powerful community of 'people for others.'

Around Campus

The Beeck Center’s interactive 2024 Impact Report takes readers on an inspiring journey covering 10 years of work—highlighting the people, ideas, and moments that made them who they are today while also providing a glimpse at what lies ahead. They hope it also serves as a reminder that even in these challenging times, government should always be for the people, by the people. Read the report.
