Attend Events

The Georgetown University Association of Retired Faculty and Staff (GU Retirees) provides a number of opportunities throughout the year for retirees to connect with each other, enjoy cultural events and socialize. These include:

  • guided tours of museums, galleries, and other sites of cultural and historical interest in the area; and
  • luncheon meetings with featured speakers from the Georgetown community.

We offer a mix of in-person and virtual events. Not a paid-up member? Click here to join or pay your dues. Sign-up information will be sent in the GU Retirees newsletter and special announcement emails.

Join colleagues for an optional luncheon after at Clyde’s Gallery Place.

There is no fee for the tour, and each guest will pay for his/her own lunch.

The tour is limited to 20 people, and we will create a waiting list in the event of cancellations. Due to the small number of attendees for this event, only one ticket is available per retiree. If you need to have someone accompany you as an accommodation, please email Mary Anne Mahin at mahinm@georgetown.edu  and an accommodation will be made.

The tour will last approximately one hour.

The Smithsonian American Art Museum and National Portrait Gallery are located at 8th and G Streets NW, convenient to the Gallery Place Metro and Clyde’s at Gallery Place.
