Cohort reps are student leaders who build a
sense of community within our MBA program.
These representatives are dedicated to creating a vibrant and inclusive environment, ensuring that every member of the MBA community feels connected and supported. Through their leadership, cohort reps contribute to the overall success and well-being of our diverse and dynamic MBAs.
We currently have 16 MBA cohorts, each supported by a dedicated team of 34 cohort representatives. Within this group, there are 24 Full-Time (FT) cohort reps and 10 Flex (FX) + Flex Online (FXO) cohort reps.
For Full-Time cohorts, the representation includes three key roles: Cohort Rep, Engagement Rep, and Spirit of Georgetown Rep. Flex and Flex Online Cohorts have two representatives each, fulfilling the roles of Cohort Rep and Spirit of Georgetown Rep.
