OUR TRACK RECORD

UNIVERSITY
NEGOTIATIONS*

*GUSA is a team-based space and these are all projects either Thomas or Nirvana feel they significantly contributed to, in varying degrees. We do not claim to be the sole reason for these accomplishments and want to give every credit to those who led the projects and tirelessly worked alongside us to make these things possible. Our intention through this page is not to take credit for these accomplishments, but simply showcase our historical priorities and commitment to student needs. Please read further here.

CRISIS RESPONSE

The Senate and the Executive often publish joint statements or resolutions in recognition of both domestic and global issues occurring beyond the gates of Georgetown. The following statements are ones that we have personally spearheaded because of our commitment to expressing solidarity with different campus communities.
