Auxiliary Programs & Committees
GUSA supports a range of auxiliary programs and committees that sit outside the Executive and the Senate, but are still fully part of GUSA and administered through it. These initiatives focus on specific issue areas, services, and community-building efforts, often partnering directly with students, campus offices, and student organizations to support our student body. They help GUSA stay responsive to student needs by creating dedicated spaces for advocacy, funding, and programming.
The GUSA Federal and DC Relations Committee educates and amplifies student voices by advocating for policies that impact the Georgetown community and its counterparts across the country. Through advocacy projects, lobbying efforts, Capitol Hill visits, and partnerships with external organizations, the committee connects students directly with local and national policy spaces. Serving as a bridge between students and policymakers, the committee supports student-led advocacy campaigns and civic engagement initiatives to ensure Georgetown students have a meaningful presence in policy conversations that shape both campus life and broader public issues.

Diversity Fund (DivFund)
The Diversity Fund is a $30,000 resource established in 2025 through a collaboration between GUSA and the Vice President of Student Affairs' office. Its purpose is to empower student organizations to create events and initiatives that foster greater representation and visibility of diverse cultures and communities at Georgetown. Any formally recognized Access-to-Benefits organization is eligible to apply.
Since its launch, the Diversity Fund has supported a vibrant array of cultural celebrations and community-building events across campus. Funded initiatives include the annual Rangila Showcase, a celebration of South Asian arts and culture; Abissa, showcasing African heritage and traditions; MX Georgetown, promoting LGBTQ+ visibility and inclusion; and Holi, the festival of colors bringing together students to celebrate spring and unity. These events have brought hundreds of students together to experience, learn from, and celebrate the rich diversity that defines Georgetown's community.
Rangila is so incredibly grateful for the support of GUSA’s diversity fund… Our show truly would not have happened without their support!

Committee on Investments and Social Responsibility
GUSA appoints a student advisory representative to Georgetown’s Committee on Investments and Social Responsibility (CISR), a university committee that advises on the implementation of Georgetown’s Socially Responsible Investing Policy. CISR reviews written proposals from members of the Georgetown community on socially responsible investing issues and makes recommendations on matters like shareholder proxy voting, helping ensure student perspectives are represented in campus conversations about investment responsibility and values.
