Saxa Service Feast, being planned to take place in late spring 2009, is a campus-wide event that brings faculty and students together to promote communication and collaboration on a personal level. To provide a fun opportunity for faculty and administrators to engage with students, the event will feature an eating contest in which teams of four involving at least one faculty member/administrator, one male student, and one female student, will compete to represent their campus group. The winning team will receive a small portion of the prize money for its organization and will donate the remaining proceeds to a non-profit organization of its choice. Attendance of other group members will also be encouraged to support the competing teams, and various raffle prizes and free items will be distributed during the contest.

Consistent with the Jesuit philosophy of cura personalis, the event will promote the values of service and duty through the non-profit donation. It will also showcase the diversity at Georgetown by involving numerous groups on campus. Overall, the event will provide an opportunity for both participants as well as supporters to display their Hoya Spirit and show that we all are Georgetown.

The Georgetown University Sustainable Garden Initiative (GUSGI) aims to be at the forefront of the grassroots movement for community supported agriculture, which recognizes that our food supply is at the nexus of pressing ethical, environmental, and economic concerns. GUSGI seeks to establish an example of community agriculture on campus that encourages a sustainable, healthy alternative to industrial agriculture and involves the highest ideals and brightest ideas of Georgetown University with the community and world at large. By partnering with Eco-Action, and engaging the enormous human capital at Georgetown, GUSGI will establish a sustainable community garden on campus.

Community gardening at Georgetown would represent a living laboratory of thought leadership at the intersection of academia and social responsibility. GUSGI believes that a Georgetown campus garden will encourage urban agriculture in the DC community. By demonstrating a community-based alternative to industrial agriculture, GUSGI can be a leader in promoting and enacting environmentally and socially conscious change. GUSGI is looking to finalize its plans with Facilities Management and begin construction of the first Georgetown garden during spring 2009.

Address Unknown is a developing performing arts project by and about America's homeless.  Over the course of the 2008-2009 school year, Georgetown actors, activists, writers, poets, musicians, and designers have been working in collaboration with DC's homeless community to create a narrative piece that has grown from the stories of the people themselves. It will incorporate art, poetry, spoken word, storytelling, song, and dance. It will be built on conversations and community established by bringing the homeless, formerly homeless, and housing insecure community of DC to Georgetown, and the students of Georgetown out into the community. The project involves several pieces: 1) creative workshops with homeless and formerly homeless men, women, and children on and off Georgetown's campus, 2) extensive community service, and 3) the performance of a play scripted by Kevyn Bowles (COL '09) inspired by the stories shared throughout this project.

Recognizing the ability of theater and the performing arts to empower and to transform, Address Unknown will raise awareness and increase understanding of homelessness and social inequality, build and develop relationships between Georgetown University and the DC community, and strengthen the connection between the work of Georgetown students, particularly in the performing arts, and the struggle for justice and equality in our world. A cast of 11 Georgetown students and homeless and formerly homeless performers has been assembled, and a production staff of 35 Georgetown students. The performance dates are set: the show opens on April 2 in Walsh Black Box, and runs through April 5, and again from April 16 through April 19.
