There’s something for everyone at the Voice!
What follows is a non-exhaustive list of how you can get involved in the Voice. If you don’t know what section to join, read the magazine and browse our website and think about what you like. You are welcome to get involved in as many sections as you are interested in!
The Voice attends the Council of Advisory Boards (CAB) Fair at the beginning of each semester, where new students have a chance to meet with editors and sign up for email lists for the sections. If you missed CAB Fair, don’t worry, the Voice doesn’t require an application (read more about why here), which means the best way to get involved is to show up to meetings!
We host all of our meetings in our office in Leavey Tower in Leavey 424, which is accessible by the elevators near GUASFCU and Vital Vittles in Leavey Center. We also remain committed to making meetings accessible to students that cannot join in-person through Zoom. All of our meetings are open to all Georgetown students, and we encourage students of all different backgrounds to join us in telling the stories of Georgetown and D.C.

News
Tuesday at 8 p.m., Friday at 5:30 p.m.
The News section writes and reports in-depth and investigative pieces about Georgetown and the D.C. greater community, while also handling any breaking news coverage. We report on Georgetown’s campus, the surrounding neighborhood, the city, and occasionally even Maryland, Virginia, and abroad — always with the lens of how our community is impacted.

Features

The Features section covers long-form, investigative stories related to Georgetown and D.C. Writers from all sections are welcome! Features collaborates with other sections to create deep dives into local news, sports, and leisure. With news commentaries, Features works with Voices to offer deeply researched perspectives with an opinion angle. Features offers brainstorming drop-in meetings called “features incubators” on Sundays.

Voices
Tuesday at 7 p.m.
Voices is the Voice’s opinion section. All members of the Georgetown community are invited to submit reflective, humorous, political, or opinion pieces. Have a topic you can talk about for hours? A burning opinion or an old-fashioned rant? We encourage first-time writers and students from all backgrounds to submit their unique takes!
Contact our Voices editor at voices@georgetownvoice.com
Editorial Board
Mondays at 9 p.m.
The editorial board is the official opinion of The Georgetown Voice. The board’s editorials reflect the majority opinion of its members, who are listed on the masthead. The editorial board strives to provide an independent view on issues pertinent to Georgetown University and the broader D.C. community, based on a set of progressive institutional values including anti-racism, trauma-informed reporting, and empathetic and considerate journalism. The editorial board operates independently from the Voice’s newsroom and the General Board.
The editorial board meets weekly to discuss campus, D.C., and national issues and collectively decides on the official position the Voice will take on the editorial page. Editorial board members are selected for their contributions based on a set process.
Students from all different backgrounds and experience levels are encouraged to join and help speak truth to power!
Contact the chair of the editorial board at edboard@georgetownvoice.com.
Leisure and Halftime Leisure
Friday at 4:30 p.m.
If you love writing about arts and culture, consider joining the Leisure family! We write about creative happenings on-campus, locally, nationally, and internationally. Reviews about albums, movies with theatrical releases, plays, musicals, books, museum exhibitions, concerts, video games, and restaurants fall under the Leisure umbrella. Meanwhile, Halftime Leisure covers television, movies released on streaming, singles, arts commentary, weekly lists, and quizzes. You can also follow us @VoiceHalftime on X for live coverage on events like The Grammys, The Oscars, The Met Gala, and more!

Design
Sunday at 8 p.m.
All creatives are welcome in the design section as we create the graphics and layouts of our print edition, along with the graphics for online articles published on the Voice website. Whether you have extensive design experience or none at all, join us in making a creative community at Georgetown and telling stories through art.

Copy
Wednesday at 7 p.m.
The copy section ensures that every article is correct—grammatically, stylistically, and factually.
Among the last people to work on issues before they publish, our copy editors use reference materials and their own research to fix mistakes and independently verify reporting. They both follow and build on the Voice style guide, maintaining the magazine’s professionalism and journalistic integrity while also shaping how we present ourselves in the future.
Whether you join them on Production Night or in one of their biweekly meetings, spending time with the copy section is a welcoming, low-stakes way to get familiar with the Voice!
Contact the copy chief at copy@georgetownvoice.com.

When you open a newspaper or magazine, is it the photos you seek out first? Are you a visual storyteller? Whether you’re new to photography, or a seasoned pro looking for a way to expand your portfolio, please join our photo team. We furnish stories with the visual components that bring them to life, covering everything from basketball games to student protests.
