February 3, 2022 – As part of the Spirit of Georgetown storytelling series, GSP Alum and former Student Board Member, Andy Marquez (SFS’21), reflects on cura personalis both in his community. Andy recalls, “I was accepted at Georgetown, and the Georgetown Scholars Program (GSP) reached out. They saw my hard work and wanted me to join GSP. Right away, they made me feel like I was seen, that I was wanted and that I deserved a spot there.”
Looking back to his first year on the Hilltop, Andy remembers, “[The] Georgetown Scholars Program broke down those barriers. They found me. I was in the GSP office every day. When I was with that community, it felt like Georgetown was built for us. It’s the most robust support system that I’ve seen specially designed for first-generation and or low-income students. GSP was a one-stop-shop for everything: academic, emotional, mental needs.”
