Georgetown Institute of Politics and Public Service
The Georgetown Institute of Politics and Public Service is a nonpartisan extracurricular program at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.
It was founded in 2013 and dedicated to the study of regional and national politics. It is housed within the McCourt School of Public Policy and was created in the fall of 2013 alongside the school's founding. In 2015, Mo Elleithee, the former communications director of the Democratic National Committee, was appointed its first executive director. In the fall of 2015, the Institute launched its first programs. The goal of the institute is to serve as an "incubator of political thought" in a bipartisan manner and to study such matters as leadership, governance, elections, and public engagement. It brings candidates for public office and incumbents, including presidential candidates, and political practitioners to Georgetown's campus and enable "student-driven conversation."
The Institute of Politics and Public Service, known as GU Politics, was founded as part of the new McCourt School of Public Policy at Georgetown University in 2013 and launched in the fall of 2015. The Institute of Politics and Public Service is dedicated to reconnecting young people with the notion that politics is a noble vehicle for public service including Nancy Pelosi, Mark Zuckerberg, and President Bill Clinton, among numerous others.
In November 2015, the Institute brought democratic hopeful Bernie Sanders to campus for a speech on what democratic socialism means in the United States. In April 2021, then-GOP House Conference Chair Liz Cheney appeared at the GU Politics Forum to speak about the future of the Republican Party in the aftermath of the 2021 storming of the United States Capitol.
In 2020, the Institute hosted a two-day Climate Forum event in which twelve presidential candidates spoke on the urgency of the climate crisis and how to best address it.
Each year, GU Politics organizes trips to visit party conventions, caucuses, national and international elections, and more in order to allow students to experience politics firsthand.
2024 RNC Convention Trip GU Politics took a group of students to the Republican National Convention July 14-19, 2024. Students had the chance to meet with campaign strategists and operatives, and get a behind-the-scenes look into the media operation and witness the convention live from the hall each night. A group of students also attended the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
Hoyas in Iowa - the 2020 Iowa Caucus Students spent four days on the ground leading up to the Iowa caucus. While in Des Moines, these students had the chance to hear directly from candidates and their surrogates from both sides of the aisle, talk to senior campaign staff who shared insight into their strategies in the lead up to the nation's first primary contest, and chat with national and state journalists to understand how each covers caucus night.
