GUBEACON (shorthand for Georgetown University Building Equity and Advocacy in Community Outreach and Navigation), founded by undergraduate students passionate about health equity, has grown from a small campus initiative into a multifaceted collaboration with Don Bosco Cristo Rey High School & Corporate Work Study Program. Through weekly health-related lessons, mentorship programs and a student-led health fair, the group aims to empower high school students with the knowledge and confidence to advocate for their own health. The group has also recently secured funding through Georgetown’s Center for Social Justice, enabling plans to expand programming to additional schools. “Seeing students excited to learn, asking questions and realizing what they’re capable of, that’s what keeps us going,” GUBEACON co-leader Alison Lee (H’26) said. Jaskirit Bhalla (H’26), co-leader, echoed that sentiment: “This is what Georgetown is about: using what we learn to serve others. And we’re just getting started.” Learn more:

The 2026 Undergraduate Research Conference (URC) brought together undergraduate researchers from across campus for a daylong showcase of student-driven work. This year’s conference was co-chaired by Tala Assaf (H’26) and Brennan Moore (H’27), who led the student planning committee responsible for everything from reviewing abstracts, to arranging a keynote speaker. Assaf emphasized the intentional diversity of research represented at the conference. “Even within one major, you see such a range of projects, from public health and global health to bench science and behavioral research,” she said. “You can walk around and see projects on zoonotic disease policy, reproductive health outcomes or biochemical pathways. That breadth is what makes URC so special.” The skills gained from public speaking and translating complex ideas extend far beyond the lab and for many students, the conference is as much about personal growth as it is about research outcomes.
