Gifts & Swag

What Gift & Swag Options do I have as an MBA Student Organization?

MBA Student Organizations can provide gifts and swag for contributors (like speakers, alumni, mentors) and/or club members.
MBA Student Organizations must use their own funds for these items and ensure designs comply with Georgetown and MSB guidelines.

Gifts for Career Days (2024) should be requested directly to MBA Career Center mbacareercenter@georgetown.edu

Option 1: Ready-made MBA
Branded Gifts & Swag

Select items from a list of pre-ordered limited products (MBA Branded Gift Catalog). This option is available for less than 10 items needed. 

You must request this at least 15 days in advance. 

Option 2: Order Customized Gifts & Swag

Create customized gifts and swag with external vendors. This option is available if you want to personalize your gifts or need more than 10 items. It takes at least 30 days to manufacture the products, so plan according to your vendor's timeline.

List of suggested vendors: 

Option 3: McDonough Overstock Swag Store


Internal MSB swag store through which you can purchase select McDonough merchandise. These are overstock items, so selections, sizes, and quantities are limited and offered at cost.

Please note that merchandise can only be purchased through an internal transfer using your club work tags.

Simply add items to your cart, specify your department and work tags, and place your order. We will send you an invitation to pick up your items from the Alumni Relations office within 2-3 work days.

For questions, please email msbalumni@georgetown.edu

Option 4: Buy at
Georgetown Stores

This is the most expensive option, and we do NOT encourage leaders to use club funds with this option. However, this is still an option if your club has the funds.
There are online stores and a physical store.
