Georgetown College

Joanna Lane ’02 is a game changer! Featured in the latest issue of GC Moments Magazine, Lane discusses how being a college athlete drove her success and shaped her career. Her leadership on the field extended off the field, where she advocated for better resources and support for the entire team. This challenge taught her to define and own the changes she wanted and to navigate leadership, lessons that have shaped her entire career.

Happy Juneteenth! 🎉 On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced that all enslaved people were free, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. That day became Juneteenth, and in 2021, it was recognized as a federal holiday. A powerful reminder that freedom isn’t truly free until it reaches everyone. 🖤❤️💚
