Monday December 11th 8:00 PM HFSC Herman Room Wash Cycle Laundry We've partnered with Wash Cycle Laundry to offer once or twice weekly wash & fold service, delivered straight to your residence hall. Sign up and get out of the laundry room! Each week of the semester, Wash Cycle Laundry will visit your Residence Hall to pick-up your clothes - on a bicycle! Wash Cycle will wash, dry, and fold as much or as little laundry as you have, and deliver back to you the very next day. Once you sign up, we'll share details about your pick-up spot, plus the day and time for service each week. The response with laundry services was so good previously, we have now partnered with Wash Cycle on dry cleaning! This environmentally-friendly service offers two-day turnaround and is priced per piece. Student Laundry Plan participants can include Dry Cleaning on their laundry day, and all other students can drop off items at Georgetown University Hotel & Conference Center on Campus.

The Council of Advisory Boards (CAB) fair will be on January 20th 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM in the Healey Family Student Center. Students can learn more about getting involved on campus as over 200 clubs and organizations will be present. MLK Evening of Hope and Resistance Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a master wordsmith. He understood that words have power as time-and-time again, he so eloquently used his voice to shed light on injustices. This year, Georgetown University honors Dr. King's legacy of captivating hearts, and ears through an evening of spoken word, poetry and music highlighting his speech "I've Been to the Mountaintop." We hope that, through this evening of reflection and artistic expression, we can stir imaginations for change and hope for the future. We will also have activities to support low-income youth, and families. Food will be provided. MLK Evening of Hope and Resistance will take place on Saturday, January 13, 2018 from 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM in the Healey Family Student Center Social Room. Please register to perform at csj.georgetown.edu/mlk. Questions can be submitted to Center for Social Justice's Whitney Maddox at guserviceday@georgetown.edu.
