MBA Lunch and Learn

The Georgetown Center for Business and Public Policy Center brings great speakers to campus to discuss interesting and relevant issues at the intersection of business and public life. The Lunch & Learn events are exclusively for our students to gain additional insights and perspectives outside the classroom. And of course, lunch is provided!
