Georgetown Alumni

Shakila Guevara Stahl (B’15), an alumna of the Georgetown Scholars Program (GSP), credits the program with giving her the resources and support she needed to launch her career in marketing and subsequent advocacy for first-generation college students. GSP offers academic, financial, community, and career support for first-generation and low-income students and has served more than 2,600 students since its founding in 2004.

To ensure GSP students have the support they need to pursue their career and research goals, Stahl and her husband, Dr. Stephen Stahl, established the Stahl Summer Scholars Program Fund in 2024. Through the fund, Georgetown awards up to $10,000 to five rising GSP seniors to participate in meaningful summer internships and other workforce opportunities they otherwise could not engage in without financial support. The scholarship is made possible through a generous gift from Stahl—the first-ever seven-figure gift to Georgetown from a GSP graduate.

"As an alum, it’s important to consider how formative the Georgetown experience has been for you and how formative it could be for others. Think about which core values or programs are meaningful to you and what kind of legacy you want to leave based on your time there. Perhaps it’s GSP or other student programs that move you. Or you might want to support Georgetown Athletics. It doesn’t have to be so definitive. It’s all about what you care about and what motivates you to make a meaningful impact," says Stahl.

Mideum Hong (G’26) graduated this year with his Ph.D. in Theological and Religious Studies from the College of Arts & Sciences.

Hong, an international student from South Korea, was raised in a devoutly Protestant household, and his curiosity for interfaith religious practices led him to study theology. He researched the history of Jesuit missions in East Asia during his master’s program at Princeton Theological Seminary and at one point considered becoming a Jesuit priest.

"Looking back, my time at Georgetown has been uniquely formative. It has allowed me not only to study other religious traditions in depth, but also to cultivate a more reflective and dynamic understanding of my own faith. In that sense, my journey here has not simply been academic — it has also been deeply personal.

Learning about other faith traditions has not only deepened my understanding of those traditions themselves but also helped me to better understand the people who live within them. It has made clear to me that religious doctrines do not exist merely as abstract ideas; they are embodied in the lives and practices of communities and individuals, including the people I have learned from and studied alongside at Georgetown," says Hong.
