McDonough Student Body Government

About

The McDonough Student Body Government (MSBG) is the official representation of the McDonough undergraduate student body to the Undergraduate Dean’s Office and faculty. This student group is made up of 12 representatives (three from each class). MSBG strives to strengthen student relations with the faculty and administration and promote positive interaction. The group hosts events annually, including the Welcome Back BBQ, Holiday Party, and Senior Sendoff. In addition, MSBG partners with local organizations for community service opportunities. Each council nominee must attend an information session at the beginning of the fall semester.

Our Initiatives

Free Coffee in Shea Commons

Need a caffeine boost? The MSBG’s Wellness Committee has you covered! In the Spring of 2025, we launched a free coffee pilot program to give students a much-needed pick-me-up in the undergraduate commons. We listened when you asked for better food and drink options in Hariri—and we delivered. Stay tuned for more updates on the fall!

Service Week (Coming Soon!)

We’re planning something special to give back to the D.C. community! Service Week will feature a lineup of impactful events on campus, culminating in a hands-on service day at our partner organization’s location—complete with free transportation. Together, let’s make a difference while strengthening our bonds as a community.

Senior Send-Off

MSBG is thrilled to honor our seniors with a farewell to remember! We’re reviving the MSBG Senior Send-Off, a beloved tradition to cap off our seniors’ Georgetown experience in a big way. This celebration will take place on April 11th from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM at The Winery at Bull Run, with optional vineyard tours available. Registration begins at 4:00 PM, and buses will depart at 5:00 PM. Join us for an evening of celebration, reflection, and fun as we toast to the memories made and the exciting journeys ahead. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
