The MBA Open Challenge is a summer-long competition designed to help you connect with your future classmates, explore Georgetown McDonough, and arrive at Opening Term ready to hit the ground running.
Complete challenges, earn points for yourself and your cohort, and compete for prizes at orientation. Every activity is an opportunity to meet someone new and get a head start on your MBA experience before classes even begin.
A few things to know:
The MBA Open Challenge is optional, but if you want your points to count, you must submit all completed activities through the submission form and make sure to use your georgetown email in order to access the form.
You can submit your completed activities as many times as you'd like, but each activity will only be counted once.
