About: Gervase Programs: Learning to Lead

Currently, the ground floor of Gervase houses the Gervase Programs – a diverse and dedicated collection of programs aimed at promoting and encouraging intellectual life on campus. The Gervase Programs include the Carroll Fellows Initiative, the Office of the Fellowship Secretary, GUROP, and the undergraduate Honor Council.

The Carroll Fellows Initiative (CFI) supports and encourages students who are training themselves to craft creative solutions to enduring problems through the search for innovative knowledge. Through unique curriculum, mentor relationships, research opportunities and the fostering of intellectual development, the CFI helps develop tomorrow’s leaders.

The Office of the Fellowship Secretary recruits and trains highly motivated and accomplished students who are interested in a variety of national and international fellowships and scholarships.

The Georgetown Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (GUROP) allows students and professors to work together on engaging research projects outside the classroom. Students who have completed at least one semester-long project may apply for larger and more intensive summer GUROP grants.

The undergraduate Honor Council promotes academic excellence through academic integrity. The Council’s role on campus is two-fold: they facilitate discussions and conversations about academic integrity and proper research methodologies while also adjudicating Honor System offenses.
