NSO Student Leadership

Coordinators

Our student coordinators work closely with professional staff to select and train our NSO student leaders, plan and implement all NSO events, coordinate with other Georgetown offices and departments, work with non-affiliated partners and sponsors, and create a welcoming environment for all incoming students and their families. Meet this year’s Coordinators!

Hey y’all! My name is Gabriela Martinez (She/Her); I am a rising senior from Red Oak, Texas. I’m a Government major in the College of Arts and Sciences. I am so excited to be working as a 25′ NSO Coordinator and helping new students during their transition into college. On campus, I’m a Cornerstone mentor, LEAD facilitator, and have served as a GWOW Coordinator.

Hello folks! My name is Isaac Kim (he/him), and I am a rising senior from Lafayette, Louisiana, studying Government and History in the College of Arts and Sciences! I have been a part of NSO since my sophomore year, and I thoroughly enjoy welcoming new students into our incredible Hoya community. Around campus, you might find me running around with the Pep Band, playing in the Orchestra, or fencing. As a Coordinator, I am excited to help introduce you all to the vibrant Hoya experience!

Hello! My name is Tyler (he/him) and I’m looking forward to working as a New Student Orientation Coordinator! I’m a rising senior in the SFS majoring in Regional and Comparative Studies, and minoring in German. I’m from Detroit, Michigan, and love to talk about the city and any of the sports teams. I love playing board and card games and am a committed member of the Bridge club on campus. I love the NSO program because it gives me a chance to help fellow students and be a friendly face for people’s first few stressful days on campus. I’m excited to plan and coordinate this year’s orientation to best help Hoyas find their place on the Hilltop!

Hey everyone! My name is Julia Toloczko (she/her), and I’m a rising senior from Great Falls, Virginia. I’m so excited to meet you all and be one of your NSO Student Coordinators! On campus, I am a Philosophy major with a Japanese minor, studying in the College of Arts and Sciences. Outside of academics, I’m involved with a lot of performing arts groups, especially the Capitol G’s acapella group and Guerilla Improv, and I’m a member of the Performing Arts Advisory Council. I also work at the circulation desk at the library! I love NSO because of the opportunities it creates to meet so many new people and make new friends in your first few days at Georgetown. I hope you all will love it too!

Captains

Our twenty-one Captains are upperclassmen student leaders that serve as facilitators of small groups of Orientation Advisors during NSO. The responsibilities of Captains include assisting in the training of OAs, helping with Parent and Family Orientation, and providing event management support to the NSO Coordinators and OAs during Orientation. Here are a few our Fall 2025 Captains!

My name is Ruth Morgan (She/her/hers), a junior in the School of Health studying Healthcare Management and Policy with a minor in Medical Humanities (from Connecticut)! I work as a Research Assistant at the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, serve on the executive board of the Georgetown Lecture Fund, a Student Advisor for ABSO, and the Health Equity Chair for the GUNAACP. The most memorable part of my orientation experience (as a past OA) was watching the students in my group develop a close relationship with each other that only continued to grow as the school year progressed! Don’t be afraid to ask questions! This is probably the only time during your first year where you will have access to all of the information about Georgetown shared with you (ranging from extracurriculars, classes and coursework, and social life). Leverage this opportunity to learn more about Georgetown and the resources that are available to you! Have fun and Hoya Saxa!

I am a Senior in the College of Arts and Sciences majoring in Biology of Global Health and minoring in Science, Technology, and International Affairs! I am involved in comedy on campus as a member of the Georgetown Improv Association, the Georgetown Heckler, and Sketch Comedy Society. I am also working in a network epidemiology lab on campus so if you want to know more about that or anything else I’ve mentioned, please feel free to reach out! My advice for incoming new students is to try new things and enjoy all the opportunities that Georgetown has to offer! The most memorable part of NSO has to be meeting all of the people that would shape some of my first moments on the hilltop! My orientation advisor was so kind and answered all of my questions as a very very confused new student… Be sure to PAY ATTENTION TO THE PANELS/EVENTS!! Everything that NSO provides is thoughtfully created to give you a deeper insight into what it means to be a Hoya. You will learn so much — they’re mandatory for a reason!

Orientation Advisors (OAs)

Over 150 Orientation Advisors (OAs) serve as mentors to groups of 10-12 new students and guide them through the NSO program. OAs stay in touch with their group of new students after NSO to serve as supportive resource throughout the transition period. Meet some of our Fall 2025 Orientation Advisors!

This fall I will be a senior in the college studying computer science! I enjoy thrifting and sewing! At Georgetown, I’ve been a part of Jumpstart and GU pep band! A memorable experience from my orientation trying different dessert locations in Georgetown with my NSO team! The orientation team helped me feel included as a member of the Georgetown community! My advice for incoming students is to attend all events, even the optional social ones. There will always be a chance to meet someone new. Try not to be scared to put yourself out there.

Hi! I am a junior in the CAS studying Government with a minor in Law, Justice, Society. I’ll be living at the CALL this for the Fall Semester! I am also involved in Alpha Phi Omega and the Alternative Breaks Program. I love to take walks, bike around the city, and hang out with friends in my free time! 🙂 The most memorable part of the Orientation experience was when my group walked to the Kennedy Center all together! My Orientation team helped me feel welcome at Georgetown because we were all transfer students — including my OA, Alan Jeoung. My OA especially made me feel belonged and heard on Georgetown’s campus when he was enthusiastic to show us around and walk us to places that I hadn’t yet visited. My advice for incoming students is to involve yourself!a I made many memories throughout Orientation week because I wanted to go on the trips and meetings that my OA set for us — there, I not only got closer with my OA but my entire group. These are connections that you will see throughout the rest of your Georgetown experience — in the halls, at Leavey, and possibly in your club meetings! Make these moments special by participating in them and talking to your groupmates (you will see them around campus for the rest of your 4 years here).

I am a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences majoring in Biology of Global Health and minoring in Science, Technology, and International Affairs! I am involved in a few performance groups on campus like the Georgetown Improv Association, Mask and Bauble, and Nomadic Theatre. I am also working in a network epidemiology lab on campus so if you want to know more about that or anything else I’ve mentioned, please feel free to reach out! My advice for incoming new students is to try new things and trust that you will end up where you need to be! Lots of love <3

Hey! My name is Lizzy and I’m from a small town outside of Boise, Idaho. I am a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences studying Sociology and English on a pre-law track. On the Hilltop, I’m involved in Jack Crew, GAAP, Gender Violence Alliance, and many other student organizations/activities! I absolutely love both Georgetown and the greater D.C. area — one of my favorite activities is hunting for the best local iced lavender latte. I love going to G-Town basketball games and hammocking on the lawn with my friends! If I had one piece of advice to offer incoming students, it would be to take advantage of living in the heart of the nation! Check out the monuments and museums, catch a show at the Kennedy Center, and visit the Tidal Basin during Cherry Blossom season! So excited to meet you all and Hoya Saxa!
