Georgetown University has launched the Georgetown Channel on FORA.tv. The channel will be supported by a wide array of university content to share knowledge and provide a venue for engaging intellectual discussions of global significance.

 

From individual university faculty who are experts in their field, to cutting-edge research and world leaders speaking on Georgetown’s campus, the Georgetown Channel will be home to education, expertise and engaging dialogue on the relevant issues of the day.

 

Georgetown joins an esteemed collection of FORA.tv content partners, including C-SPAN, The Aspen Institute, The Brookings Institution, The New Republic, The Commonwealth Club and many more.

 

Georgetown through the launch of the Channel plans to utilize FORA.tv’s innovative content delivery platform to reach a global audience hungry for issue-oriented video.
