Let’s Talk About Men’s Mental Health 💙

This Movember, it’s not just about men's facial hair — it’s about starting a conversation about mental health.

Too many men are told to “tough it out” or “man up.” But real strength means knowing when to speak up and get help. Nearly 1 in 5 men experience a mental health condition like anxiety or depression each year — yet less than half ever seek treatment.

It’s time to change that.
Learn how to recognize the signs, find support, and break the stigma around men’s mental health. 💪

Georgetown’s board of directors has unanimously voted to name Eduardo M. Peñalver, the president of Seattle University, a Rhodes Scholar and former dean of Cornell Law School, as the 49th president of Georgetown University. He will begin his new role on July 1, 2026.

Peñalver has served as the 22nd president of Seattle University, a Catholic, Jesuit institution, since 2021. He was the first layperson to lead the university since its founding in 1891.

Peñalver will succeed Interim President Robert M. Groves, who has led Georgetown for the past year after former President John J. DeGioia stepped down from his role in 2024 to recover from a stroke.

“We are pleased to welcome Eduardo Peñalver to Georgetown University,” said Thomas A. Reynolds (B’74), chair of the board of directors. “President Peñalver is an exceptional leader steeped in the Catholic and Jesuit tradition who brings a wealth of experience in higher education, a global mindset, a commitment to social justice and academic excellence, and a bold vision for Georgetown’s future. We look forward to him joining our Georgetown community.”

Prior to Seattle University, Peñalver served as the dean of Cornell Law School and clerked for former U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens. He studied philosophy and theology at Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar and earned his bachelor’s degree from Cornell University and law degree from Yale Law School.
