Georgetown Name Usage and Vendor PR Guidelines

Revised August 2025

Georgetown does not provide endorsements of products or vendors or contribute to vendor case studies unless a corporate sponsorship agreement has been entered into with the Office of the Chief Commercial Officer. In the absence of a corporate sponsorship agreement with the Office of the Chief Commercial Officer, or explicit written permission from the relevant Executive Vice President, and upon approval by the Office of Communications, a vendor may utilize Georgetown’s name in a text list of customers or clients, in a work portfolio, or on a list of project references.

Georgetown University does not allow the use of its name or image in social media posts, articles, or online postings by vendors and contractors. Any logo or likeness usage must be approved by the Georgetown Visual Identity Group.

Georgetown does not generally issue joint press releases with vendors or outside organizations, and press releases or media pitches using the Georgetown University name must be approved by Georgetown’s Office of Communications. Releases must be factually accurate and may not include language promoting or endorsing any vendor, including quotes from university representatives that may imply endorsement. Media requests about Georgetown University projects should be referred back to media@georgetown.edu.

Any questions or approvals should be coordinated through the Office of Communications.
