The 2023 winner of the Hopper Award is Andrea Pozderac

The winner of the Jill A. Hopper Award is presented at the Colloquium. Created by MAGES alumni in memory of their classmate Jill Hopper (MAGES ’96), the Award recognizes dedication to academic service and scholarship. Throughout her time at Georgetown, Jill maintained the highest standards for herself both inside and outside the classroom. Her commitment to academic excellence earned her the admiration of classmates as well as recognition within the broader academic community of scholars. Her talent for inspiring others to excel indelibly marked her class; her enthusiasm and optimism enlivened the Center. The Hopper Award celebrates her example and encourages others to aspire to the same high standards.
