Meet the 2021–22 HALC Fellows
The HALC Students Fellows Program is part of the Georgetown Humanities Initiative. Our collective goal is to understand and to enhance the potential of the Humanities: Arts, Literature, and Culture (HALC) Core requirement as an introduction and gateway to the Cultural Humanities at Georgetown.
In partnership with the faculty, HALC Student Fellows imagine ways to make the requirement more dynamic and more connected. Ultimately, we hope that students will be more intentional when they choose HALC courses and that HALC courses will lead students to next-level learning in the Cultural Humanities. HALC Student Fellows are also members of the Georgetown Humanities Initiative Student Advisory Board. They have opportunities to develop student-focused programming for the Georgetown Humanities Initiative and to share their perspectives via articles for the Georgetown Humanities newsletter and website.
