If you stopped a random sample of Georgetown students in Red Square and asked them about their employment plans for the summer, chances are that very few would respond by excitedly telling you about their full-time waitressing gig at Applebee’s or nannying job for the next-door-neighbors. Instead, you’d be peppered with a mélange of decidedly impressive sounding employers—think tanks, senators, Wall Street firms, NGOs, major publishing houses. Not only have these internships replaced the traditional summer job, they have become de rigeur for many Georgetown students during the academic year as well.

How to Revitalize Student Government

The GUSA office is undergoing some physical remodeling, Twister Murchison (SFS ‘08) explained. For the recently sworn-in president of the students’ representative body, there could not be a more apt metaphor for what the organization needs: remodeling.
