Embodying this spirit of the University, Georgetown's Qatar campus undertakes education, research, and service in order to advance knowledge and provide students and the community with a holistic educational experience that produces global citizens committed to the service of humankind. We demonstrate the values of Georgetown University; seek to build upon the world-class reputation of the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service; and work with our partner, Qatar Foundation, in its endeavors to achieve the Qatar National Vision 2030.

Training will be provided for 1-2 days and working periods will be identified and agreed to in advance, dependent upon need and availability.

Attend and complete required training programs to become familiar with event coordination processes and procedures.
Support the team during high-demand weeks, busy event weeks, conferences, and commencement activities, as per the specified dates.
Focus primarily on the day-of event execution, including set-up, guest interaction, catering management, and post-event cleanup, with less emphasis on pre-planning or coordination.
Help set up event spaces and equipment and participate in the break-down and cleanup of event areas to maintain efficient event operations.
Assist in the preparation and distribution of event materials, such as invitations, programs, signage, and promotional materials.
Coordinate event registration processes, including managing online registration systems, tracking attendee lists, and responding to inquiries.
