Recently we were represented by Monique Currie and Ed Tapscott (who joined former Redskin Shawn Springs) at a panel discussion for students in Georgetown University’s Sports Industry Management program. The panel discussed their respective experiences regarding the value of communications and media relations. What a great real-world learning experience for the future leaders of our industry. Click here to see a recap.

Hoya Saxa China Redux
Wow is all I can say.
What an experience for the students and the University.
Here is a great package of info as follow up on the traveling Hoyas and their trip to China.
With a great animation here.
And the President’s follow on comments here as well to the community at large.
Amazing.

This is so great for the University. The men’s basketball program and the players and staff and coaches.
A cultural trip to China; mind expansion.
Diplomacy through athletics.
I am so proud. Hoya Saxa. Read this clip if you have the time. Thank you.
Georgetown Men’s Basketball
And Monumental Sports and Entertainment announced a smart partnership. We will be selling tickets for the program and utilizing our infrastructure and personnel to help drive attendance for the University that plays at Verizon Center. See link here from the Georgetown University website.
I am very proud. Hoya Saxa.
On another front, I happened to mention our new loge boxes earlier in the week on my blog that we had built 8 and had sold 4 – scratch that – we have now sold 5 of them! Thank you. These have turned out to be very popular with our fans.
Also the Verizon Center has installed and will continue to refine during the next few weeks an upgraded sound system and we are also hard at work on modernizing a bunch of suites in the building.Scratch some more To Do’s off our list. Thanks for the support!

That was a fun game and an impressive showing against the #1 seed UConn Huskies. A win would have been of historic upset proportions. We played hard. We played smart. We came up just a bit short. Read this one please.
The Georgetown Woman’s basketball program is now firmly established. It will continue to grow and develop. The lacrosse program has become world class as has soccer, track and field and sailing along with men’s basketball.
Academics rule at Georgetown but athletics on a nationally ranked scale are important as well. We balance the priorities well. Hoya Saxa.

Read this article please. It talks about the Georgetown Sports Industry Management program.
The University has a thriving practice here now for undergrads and at the graduate level. It is lead by a former executive at the Washington Capitals, Matt Winkler. It is staffed by former leaders of AOL such as Jimmy Lynn and many of our employees at the Caps, Wizards and Mystics teach here. I guest lecture at the school two to three times per semester. We hire interns by the boatload from this program at our teams.
I am on the board of Georgetown. Paul Tagliabue, former NFL Commissioner, is our Chairman of the Board at Georgetown.
There are several Georgetown alumni that own teams in professional sports or that are leaders in the sports marketing industry and in media that cover professional and NCAA sports.
Georgetown is considered the host of the NCAA Regional games here in DC that are playing at Verizon Center, a building that I own. As an aside, I attended several of the games yesterday. I also met with the President of the NCAA. What a wonderful experience and a great weekend for our city. The students all gather right outside my window at the arena. The bagpipes are playing; the students are chanting; the sun is shining; and all is right in the world.
Georgetown plays tonight in Chicago. Wish them well.
Georgetown, for a small liberal arts and research based school, plays a mighty big role in sports and sports education. I am proud. Hoya Saxa.
Guess Who is the Largest Employer in DC?
Wait for it…
Georgetown University.
And looks who else is on the list – all of the local universities. This is proving my point of how integral colleges are to a local urban center; its iconic status; and its economic impact. Be nice. Hoya Saxa.
Sundance & Georgetown University
Hoya Saxa.
I am so proud.
This is just the best news.
Filmanthropists abound.
Father Durkin would be proud.

The Georgetown Men’s basketball team is off to a 2-0 start. This is good for the University. Two good wins against two good teams.
Georgetown beat a tough Tulane team last night at Verizon Center 69-53.
The team’s guard play has been very good the first two games. Austin Freeman is a very talented player as is Chris Wright. They form a very efficient and strong back court perhaps one of the best in the land.
I am hopeful the team has a strong start before it enters a very tough Big East schedule. Hoya Saxa.
