Office of Federal Relations

The Office of Federal Relations serves the University community as the primary liaison to the federal government. The office’s primary mission is to provide advocacy on behalf of the University on issues pertaining to higher education, in particular those affecting our students, faculty, and staff. The office is led by Katy Button (SFS ’94), Associate VP for Federal Relations.

We work to serve the entire Georgetown University community and welcome your input, suggestions, and inquiries. Please contact us if:
