The Doyle Engaging Difference Program - Georgetown University

Abbey Swartzwelder (C’25) is an undergraduate student in the College of Arts & Sciences majoring in government with a minor in Spanish. She is originally from Dallas, Texas, but studied at Universidad Complutense de Madrid through the Georgetown in Madrid program. She is fascinated by the intersection of strategic communications and public policy and hoped to explore this connection within Spain’s government, in tandem with its complex religious culture. She enjoyed this opportunity to expand her knowledge and appreciation of Spanish culture, as well as engage in meaningful discussion with fellow Georgetown students. She was part of the spring 2024 Doyle Global Dialogue cohort. On campus, Abbey is involved with GU Politics, Georgetown Individuals Vocal and Energetic for Service, and New Student Orientation.
