Voice alumni, Georgetown faculty, and friends,
We’re celebrating the Voice’s belated 55th anniversary on Saturday, April 5, 2025. Many things about the Voice have changed in the 56 years and 22 days since its first publication (yes, we know), but not what’s important. Our mission is still to inform and uplift our readers and to never defer to those in power, which is critically important in our world right now. And that’s worth celebrating.
If you’re still in touch with other Voice alums, please forward this invite to them, and bring anyone you’d like. Also, subscribe to our alumni newsletter if you haven’t already.
If you can’t make it, send me a note at editor@georgetownvoice.com. I’d love to hear from you.
Here’s to another 55 (copy, screaming at me: 56) years. Thanks for reading, and for all that you do to support us,
Connor
Editor-in-Chief, Spring 2025
RSVP by emailing alumni@georgetownvoice.com, and buy a ticket to the Voice 55 reception for $35 here.
