Meet the DYNAMIC ESCAPE TEAM
Each year, Georgetown students can apply for approximately 50 or so slots as a student team leader. With the exception of a small ESCAPE staff, the ESCAPE experience is almost completely staffed by students. The team leader experience is one of the most rewarding aspects of student life on The Hilltop. We accept applications from ALL current rising Sophomore, Junior and Senior Georgetown students. Previous participation in ESCAPE (i.e. attending ESCAPE your first-year) is NOT a requirement for applying for the program. All GU students are given equal consideration.
Team XIX for 2009-10 has already been selected, but check back here for updates on how to become part of Team XX! The 2010-11 application process will begin in March 2010.
If you have any questions about ESCAPE team leadership please contact Bridget Sherry, Director of the ESCAPE First-Year Program at bes24@georgetown.edu

ESCAPE team leadership is extremely rewarding, empowering and fun. Team leaders serve as "staff" of the ESCAPE Program.
The major duties of an ESCAPE team leader include:
Attending TWO overnight ESCAPE experiences as a leader per semester
Sharing in the duties of running an ESCAPE overnight and facilitating small group reflection
Recruitment responsibilities and finding new and creative ways to attract first-year students to the program
Attending a team leader meeting and dinner once a semester
Preparing and giving a personal reflection on an ESCAPE overnight
Keeping in regular contact with the ESCAPE Director
Being knowledgeable about Jesuit education and its merits
Being open to personal and group reflection and committing yourself to reflecting outside of ESCAPE overnights
Creating an environment of hospitality and friendship on campus and on the overnight experiences
Making new friends and getting to know other team leaders
Having fun
