IMPORTANT UPDATE ON JOHN CARROLL WEEKEND 2020
Dear Georgetown University Alumni Community,
It is with a heavy heart that I write to inform you that this year’s John Carroll Weekend in Bermuda has been canceled. Georgetown University has been closely monitoring the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), and we believe this decision is in the best interest of the health and safety of our entire Georgetown community.
On March 7, the university extended its student international travel moratorium to include ALL university-sponsored or related non-essential international travel for faculty and staff through May 15, 2020. This moratorium recognizes the dynamic nature of the situation, possible disruptions to international travel and health care, and potential challenges in reentering the United States from abroad. Official university updates and guidance are available to read on the Georgetown University webpage on Coronavirus.
John Carroll Weekend is a cherished tradition, and the time we take to connect, celebrate, and honor service to our community is irreplaceable. But cura personalis, care of the whole person, is a core Georgetown value. Above all else, we prioritize the health and safety of our alumni, friends, families, employees, and contributors to the weekend.
We regret the inconvenience caused by this cancellation. For those who have already registered for the weekend, you will receive a full refund for John Carroll Weekend events in the coming days.
Please note that if you have reserved a hotel room at the Fairmont Southampton, you must cancel more than 30 days in advance to avoid a penalty. Georgetown cannot cancel your hotel reservation for you. You will have to contact the hotel reservations line directly at +1 (441) 238-8000 to cancel your hotel reservation at your earliest convenience. The credit card you used to make the reservation will be charged for a one-night stay at 30 days out from the reservation and the full amount two weeks out. For more information, please see the FAQs below.
I want to again congratulate the 2020 John Carroll and Patrick Healy award recipients. We look forward to honoring our awardees in the future and will provide more detailed celebration plans as soon as we are able.
Thank you for your continued understanding.
Sincerely,
Julia Farr (C’88, Parent’19, ’21, ’24)
