In celebration of AANHPI Heritage Month, GSP is proud to spotlight Angela Lam Nguyen (C'24), a proud GSP alumna whose passion for education and advocacy continues to make an impact beyond the Hilltop.

Reflecting on her Georgetown experience, Angela shares:

"My AAPI identity guided my Georgetown experience both in academics and extracurriculars. I spent my time at Georgetown helping to advocate for Asian American Studies and an AAPI affinity space because I cared about the broader AAPI community and validating the experiences and lives of AAPI students on campus."

From advocating for AAPI representation on campus to building community through cultural organizations and educational equity work, Angela's journey is a testament to the power of embracing identity and creating space for others to do the same.

We are proud to celebrate Angela and the many AANHPI GSPers whose cultures and leadership continue to strengthen our community.

In celebration of AANHPI Heritage Month, GSP is proud to spotlight Dr. Jacqueline Anne “Jacquey” Julio-Reyrao (COL’10).

A proud GSP alum, Community Scholar, former President of Club Filipino, dancer, artist, and optometrist, Jacquey's journey reflects the many ways our identities shape who we are and how we serve others.

Reflecting on her Filipino-American identity, Jacquey shares:

"My identity existed because I existed, and my Filipino-American heritage shines through regardless of what I do."

From leading cultural organizations and performing on Georgetown's stages to becoming a low vision specialist and advocate for accessible healthcare, Jacquey continues to make an impact through leadership, service, and community.

We are proud to celebrate Jacquey and the many AANHPI GSPers whose stories, cultures, and contributions enrich our Georgetown community and beyond.
