Creating A Georgetown Legacy g e o rg e t o w n u n i v e r s i t y | fa l l 2 0 2 5 giving.georgetown.edu/planned-giving The changing leaves of the season
evoke a sense of nostalgia, especially at a place like Georgetown. Midway through the semester, the energy on campus and sense of community are amplified by events like Homecoming and Family Weekend. There is much to be excited about at Georgetown this autumn—new deans at the College of Arts and Sciences (David Edelstein) and the McCourt School of Public Policy (Carole Roan Gresenz). We also welcome a new University Librarian, Alexia Hudson-Ward, and the search for a new dean at the Law Center is underway.
Jeffrey (B’66) and Nancy Moreland
A Lasting Legacy of Athletics and Faith
A scholarship enabled Jeff Moreland (B’66) to attend Georgetown and compete on the Track & Field and Cross Country teams. He cherished the four years of friendship, memories, and connections on the Hilltop, graduating with a B.S. in Business Administration degree in 1966. Jeff’s career included working for Santa Fe Railway, the BNSF Railway, and until recently, serving as vice chairman of Amtrak’s Board of Directors and chairman of its Audit and Finance Committee. He’s grateful to Georgetown for the scholarship that led to his Catholic education and successful career. To demonstrate that gratitude, Jeff and his wife, Nancy, recently created the Moreland Family Endowed Athletics Chaplain Fund in the Office of Mission & Ministry by making a blended gift, including an outright gift using IRA qualified charitable distributions and naming Georgetown as a beneficiary of a retirement account. Making their gift this way allows the Morelands to see the impact of their philanthropy during their lifetime while also creating a lasting legacy for the family at Georgetown.
In addition, we recently announced plans to honor the legacy of President Emeritus John J. DeGioia for his 50 years of learning and service at Georgetown. The university will create the DeGioia Scholarship Initiative, a renaming of a 2009 initiative to make Georgetown more affordable for all undergraduate students who merit admission; introduce the DeGioia Symposium; and renovate and rename Old North as DeGioia Hall, one of the most historic buildings in the heart of the Hilltop. Your generosity makes Georgetown’s continued work to educate tomorrow’s leaders possible. You help open doors and create opportunities. We are deeply grateful for your continued commitment to Georgetown and our shared community. With gratitude,
