Post-election, our duty must be to one another

Nov 17, 2024 | georgetownvoice.com | Alec Weiker |Ella Bruno |Alex Lewontin

Dear Georgetown,It’s alright to be horrified, sickened, even paralyzed by the results of the 2024 election. The range of justifiable criticisms levied against the “morally objectionable” Harris/Walz ticket does not make the notion of another Trump presidency any easier to swallow.
Faculty hold second vigil for Gazan academics killed by Israel

Apr 18, 2024 | georgetownvoice.com | Connor Martin |Ella Bruno |Romy Abu-Fadel |Sabrina Shaffer

Georgetown Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine (FSJP) held a vigil Tuesday at noon to mourn the Palestinian academics and university students killed by Israel in Gaza. This is the second vigil FSJP has held since the group’s founding in January. On Oct. 7, Hamas militants attacked Israel, killing nearly 1,200 people.
“Running as a revolt”: How a new generation of runners is redefining the sport

Feb 3, 2024 | georgetownvoice.com | Jo Stephens |Ella Bruno |Alex Lewontin

As a concept, running is a sport that can come hand-in-hand with scrutiny. Many people who don’t run—and even sometimes those who do—might have ideas about what it means to be a runner. How fast someone runs, how many races they’ve competed in, and even what a person looks like might be misconstrued as determining whether someone is worthy of being deemed a so-called “real runner.”Of course, none of these factors are necessary to being a runner.
Georgetown must break its silence on Israel’s violent occupation of Palestine

Oct 20, 2023 | georgetownvoice.com | Annette Hasnas |Paul James |Ella Bruno

Content warning: This article references genocide against Palestinians and Islamophobic rhetoric. The editorial board recognizes the escalation of violence in Israel and Palestine has been grievous for Jewish and Palestinian communities. We extend compassion to those in pain. In times of devastation, we must center humanity. Any civilian death—regardless of race, religion, or nationality—is a tragedy.
THEO 101: The Problem of Google Calendar

Apr 26, 2023 | georgetownvoice.com | Christine Ji |Erika Bullock |Ella Bruno

Georgetown’s diverse religious and political environment is evidenced by many things: the presence of not only traditional Catholic gathering spaces but also those of other Abrahamic and Eastern religions; the variety of student organizations spanning the entire political spectrum; the sexual tension between the H*yas for Choice and Right to Life booths tabling next to each other in Leavey.
“Gifted kid burnout” is very real

Mar 22, 2023 | georgetownvoice.com | Nikki Farnham |Ella Bruno

Shiny things rust, and—like so many former “gifted kids”—that’s what happened to me. I’ve been in public schools since second grade, and I always took the hardest classes offered. It wasn’t something my parents and I really needed to discuss—we just knew I would enroll in courses with the highest level of difficulty. To be fair, I kept setting the precedent, advancing year after year with the same A’s I had been earning since the beginning.
You’re studying too much— yes, you - The Georgetown Voice

Mar 7, 2023 | georgetownvoice.com | Ella Bruno |Erika Bullock

For how much Georgetown students seem to despise the absurd workload, competitive culture, and challenging requirements of our classes, we sure do revel in our suffering. Though conversations with friends revolve around the unbearable quantity of assignments and the number of hours we’ll need to lock ourselves in Lau, I sense the undertones of gratification, as though we love to hate our own grievances.
Latest antisemitic graffiti results in outburst of support, community Havdalah celebration

Feb 7, 2023 | georgetownvoice.com | Nora Scully |Rebecca Zaritsky |Ella Bruno

When Naomi Gould (CAS ’25), a first-year representative for the Jewish Student Association (JSA), went home to Darnall 2 on Jan. 22, the last thing she expected to run into was a symbol of hate. “Antisemitism is something that I learned about in school growing up, because I went to a Jewish day school,” Gould said.
