Student Coordinators

The Cornerstone Student Coordinator is a high-impact student leadership role who works on the implementation of the Cornerstone program.

The Student Coordinator responsibilities include:

Hi I’m Vik Palaparthi, and I’m a senior in the SFS majoring in International Economics. Outside of academics, I love traveling, playing cricket with GUCC, and trying my hand at cooking. I’m excited to be part of the Cornerstone team and look forward to helping strengthen our community!

Hello! My name is Sarah Liang, and I’m a senior in the MSB studying Accounting and OPAN. In my free time, I love to run, add entries to my junk journal, play guitar, and try new restaurants around the DMV. I’m looking forward to welcoming you to the Cornerstone community – we are so excited to meet you!

Cornerstone Peer Mentors

The Peer Mentor Application is now open through August 31, 2026. Please email cornerstone@georgetown.edu with your questions!

Cornerstone Peer Mentors are facilitators leading and mentoring first-year and transfer students throughout their Cornerstone experience. Peer Mentors support students in reflecting and discussing their Georgetown experience with a peer group. They also encourage new students by identifying their own future goals, challenges, and action steps in a small-group setting. The goal is that through the support of a Peer Mentor, new students will have the support, skills, and resources to find their foundation within a social community context.
