Education and Social Justice Project

A collaboration with the Center for Social Justice Research, Teaching and Service, the Education and Social Justice Project provides summer research fellowships to travel abroad for in-depth examinations of innovative initiatives, particularly within Jesuit secondary and post-secondary institutions.

Junior Year Abroad Network

The Junior Year Abroad Network (JYAN) connects Georgetown students spending a semester or more at other universities around the world.

Pulitzer Center International Reporting Fellowship

As part of a collaboration with the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting the Berkley Center selects one Georgetown student annually to receive a reporting fellowship. Projects investigate the religious dimension of an international issue, illuminating what is overlooked, untold, or misunderstood.

Religion, Ethics, and World Affairs Minor

The Religion, Ethics, and World Affairs (REWA) program offers a minor for Georgetown undergraduate students in the Walsh School of Foreign Service and Georgetown College, administered through the Berkley Center.

"It is hard to emphasize enough how much the experience impacted me. I came into Georgetown not knowing that I cared about research, yet ESJ helped me discover this passion for research to effect social change."
Adam Barton

"After the ESJ Project, I am very excited to write my sociology thesis. As taxing as interviews can be, I am excited to do my thesis because I know how to write a research paper. I know that I can do it."
Mackenzie Price

"The Pulitzer fellowship is something I'm going to look back on as one of the most formative experiences of my life. It's motivated me to amplify voices that have gone unheard, whether in a future career in journalism or through nonprofit work."
