Remember When: “How did you spend a sunny day on the Hilltop?”

Georgetown Magazine asked alumni to reflect on their favorite places to relax when DC weather was picture-perfect.

How sweet it is

The apiary on Observatory Hill recently produced 300 pounds of honey for Leo’s dining hall, a landmark yield for the beekeeping course and Hoya Hive student beekeeping club.

Where the heart is

Through the Homelessness Outreach, Meals, and Education (HOME) Program at Georgetown’s Center for Social Justice Research, Teaching & Service, DC residents who are chronically unhoused can access resources such as laundry facilities, computers, and food pantries. Hoyas work across the Father McKenna Center, the Georgetown Ministry Center, the Hypothermia Outreach Team, and more.

Good as (re)new

In 2021, students began a sustainability nonprofit: Georgetown REUSE. The group now runs an ecommerce site, blog, and garment repair program called ReStitch. With donation bins located across campus, REUSE diverted over 4,600 pounds of waste from landfills, mended or upcycled over 100 items, and repurposed over 1,300 items in the 2024–2025 academic year.
