Victoria's graduation!  

In one of the first face-to-face meetings since the covid pandemic hit, Georgetown's graduation for the PhD students was held on May 24, 2021 at Nat's Park.  It was non-traditional and in the rain!  Graduate students from all programs (including law, med, business) were recognized and received their degrees. Congratulatory remarks were made by Leslie Odom Jr., former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, and Dr. Tony Fauci.  

​Celebratory dinner was at Bistro Aracosia... fabulous food (but we forgot to take pictures!)
