Social Responsibility Network

The Social Responsibility Network (SRN) is a mentorship program for Georgetown University College of Arts & Sciences students interested in pursuing service-based and social impact careers. Students will have opportunities to learn from College alumni who have found success in service-related industries, from health accessibility to educational administration.

Our Board of Advisors

Launched in Spring 2019 under the direction of Dean Thomas Chiarolanzio, the SRN helps students explore options in non-profit sectors. The SRN Board of Advisors mentors and advises students as to ways to use a liberal arts education to do well by doing good.
