What do the Colors Mean?

We chose the calendar colors based upon which academic field the subjects are categorized by and the academic dress regalia colors that is associated with that subject. The origins of academic dress dates back to the 12th and 13th centuries when universities were first taking form. The assignment of colors to signify certain faculties was developed much later and it was not until 1895 that the intercollegiate Commission adopted a code of academic dress that is used today.

i was part of the Sports industry Management program. The most fun i had was visiting the stadiums and working on the capstone project, which was a real world experience that showed me how a marketing team works on a project.

not only did i experience the best exposure into the medical field, but i really got the chance to think what my passion for medicine is in detail. i met lifelong friends that i still talk to and enjoyed the ambiance of the DC area that Georgetown in surrounded by. Best summer experience ever.
