Eduardo Peñalver Named 49th President of Georgetown University
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.
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, who shared the news in a message to the Georgetown community. “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.”
