Georgetown University: ESCAPE

Georgetown University's ESCAPE First-Year Experience

The 2008-2009 Team XVIII Leader Applications are available here.

ESCAPE is a dynamic,  secular overnight (27 hour--not a whole weekend) experience and reflection program for Georgetown’s first-year students

Are you a Georgetown Freshmen?  Do you like meeting new friends and eating great food?  Do you need a break from the Hilltop?  Do you want to be part of a prestigious Georgetown tradition that has been around for 17 years?

...then ESCAPE is for you!

The ESCAPE Program provides an overnight experience for all new undergraduate students (first years and transfers) to "escape" the hectic pace that characterizes the first year at a new college.

See what your peers have to say about ESCAPE!

"When I piled into that school bus and left for my ESCAPE I was a new kid at a new school.  When I came back, I knew more than fifty people, with whom I shared a deep bond.  Many of these people have become my closet friends.  When I returned to campus, Georgetown was much smaller and friendlier than when I left."
--Transfer Student  NHS '08

"The leaders play such a vital part in the program, from being crazy, energetic and fun, to leading serious discussions and openly sharing their stories and experiences. On the retreat I found myself looking up to them and listening to their advice, and it was (and still is) such a nice feeling to be able to say hi to them around campus and have an upperclassman to talk to whenever I need advice."                              -- Freshman, SFS '10

"The positive and energetic attitudes of all of the leaders ensured that my overnight stay was truly an escape from the rigors of classes and the chaos of the social life that characterized my first few months at Georgetown." --Freshman, MSB '11

"When I was on ESCAPE, I met some of the most interesting, creative and amazing people that I’ve met since arriving at Georgetown."                    --International Student, SFS
