Georgetown has appointed Lionell Daggs III as the new director of the LGBTQ Resource Center. Daggs brings a decade of experience in Jesuit higher education, most recently as the associate director of racial justice initiatives at the university’s Center for Social Justice (CSJ).

At the LGBTQ Resource Center, Daggs will lead the center’s mission to provide resources, outreach, advocacy and programming for Georgetown’s LGBTQ community.

The center opened in 2008 and was the first of its kind at a Catholic, Jesuit institution in the U.S. It offers education, programming and support services to Georgetown students, staff, faculty and alumni of all sexual orientations and gender identities. Rooted in Georgetown’s values, the center works to create a safe, inclusive and welcoming environment for LGBTQ community members.

“We are thrilled to welcome a familiar face to lead the LGBTQ Resource Center,” said Eleanor Daugherty, Georgetown’s vice president for student affairs. “Lionell’s work is essential as we continue to build a community that welcomes and supports all students.”

Daggs’ own Jesuit education has played a formative role in shaping his career which has focused on advocating for and empowering students.

Daggs first discovered the Jesuits when he attended the Jesuit High School of New Orleans. He then moved west to attend the University of San Francisco, another Jesuit institution. Daggs worked for over six years at his alma mater, as a program assistant and then as an assistant director for the Cultural Centers, which includes both the Gender and Sexuality Center and Intercultural Center.

In this role, he helped create identity-based community meetup spaces, organized events for the university’s LGBTQ community, and established a gender-affirming clothing closet, the first of its kind at a Jesuit institution. Daggs also organized the annual Women of Color Leadership Conference, which centers the experiences of women of color and supports them in building their leadership capacity.

In support of Dean Christopher King and his vision for the newly redesigned School of Health, Laura (NHS’03) and Mike Yaeger (B’03) established the School of Health Dean’s Leadership Priorities Fund with a gift of $150,000—a gift they see as an expression of gratitude to Georgetown for starting them on the path toward their family and careers.

The fund will work to support operations, programming, and research at the new School of Health—established in 2022 alongside the School of Nursing in a reenvisioning of the School of Nursing & Health Studies—helping the school to adapt and seize new opportunities, according to its dean.

“A large part of this gift is motivated by my wife and my appreciation to Georgetown for our family,” shares Mike, who serves as treasurer of the Board of Governors of the Georgetown University Alumni Association. “I owe my education, career path, and family to Georgetown.”

Maya Lin, the renowned architect and designer, reflects on her original multi-part installations for the McCourt School of Public Policy - Georgetown University.

The artwork, “Mapping our Place in the World,” complements the McCourt School’s mission and values.

“My approach to this work tries to ground you in your physical surroundings, with different elements coming together to help give you an immediate sense of place — capturing the sounds, weather, seasons, main waterways and native trees, grasses and flowering plants in the DC area,” said Lin. “By making you aware of your natural surroundings, I also was thinking about how visitors would reflect on a larger idea of where their place is in the world, which responds to the studies of the McCourt School.”

Yi Song (L’10) is on her third go-round with Georgetown University.

The Beijing native first visited the Hilltop as a 22-year-old exchange student, spending a summer studying political economy at Georgetown.

She fell in love with DC and returned to Georgetown a few years later, after having practiced tax law in China, to earn an LL.M. — a specialized master’s degree in law for those who’ve already completed a J.D. or its equivalent. She then worked for a decade in private practice before finding her way back to her alma mater as an instructor and administrator.

Song is now the executive director and adjunct professor of Graduate and International Programs at Georgetown Law, where she advises LL.M. students on their academic and career plans, and teaches in the LL.M. Summer Experience, a special summer orientation program for incoming Georgetown Law LL.M. students.
