Diversity and Access

Jaime Briseño

Senior Associate Director

My name is Jaime Briseño and I have been a member of the Georgetown admissions office for over 25 years. I am a former First Generation Low Income student from San Antonio, Texas, attended a medium sized public school (Memorial High School), followed by college on the East Coast. College was made possible by a generous need-based financial aid award. My regions of responsibility include: Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, as well as the Caribbean and all of Latin America. In my particular role at the admissions office, I welcome questions from you or your family (in English or Spanish) to help you navigate the college admissions process.

My name is Mai Harman, and I have been in admissions for over 10 years. I graduated from a large public high school in Plano, Texas (862 in my graduating class!).

My name is Dashawn Cribbs and I have been working in admissions for just under 3 years. I am from the southside of Chicago, where I graduated from Urban Prep Academies-Englewood Campus.

My name is Norman Francis, Jr. and I am one of the newest admissions officers at Georgetown University. My regions are DC, Delaware, Maryland (Eastern Shore, Southern Maryland, PG County, and Baltimore County), and New Jersey (Central and Southern).

Malcolm Delfish

Admissions Officer

My name is Malcolm Delfish, and I recently graduated from Georgetown’s School of Health
with a degree in Healthcare Management and Policy. During my time at Georgetown, I’ve come to understand the absolute necessity of diverse communities and the many benefits that our multicultural hub can grant to its surroundings. I had the wonderful opportunity to observe and participate in many of the clubs, organizations such as: Project Lighthouse, the Buddhist Student Association, Prospect Records, Taekwondo, and the Black Student Alliance. It allowed me to immerse myself among people and cultures that were both similar and unlike my own experiences. I hope to bring this same experience to my time working here as an admissions officer. My regions include Arkansas, Alabama, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. I’m happy to answer your questions about Georgetown and assist you in your college admissions journey.

Leyla Hagan

Admissions Officer

My name is Leyla Yüksel Hagan and I joined the team as an admissions officer in the summer of 2024, soon after my own graduation from the Walsh School of Foreign Service. I majored in Culture and Politics, with a concentration theme of “The Middle East and the Environment,” and minored in Mathematics in the College of Arts and Sciences. Throughout my time at Georgetown, I was involved in the Georgetown Scholars Program (GSP), the Georgetown Eco-Consultants, and the International Relations Club. Originally from Long Island, New York, I now am responsible for the regions of New Jersey (except for the Northeast) and Philadelphia. Beyond Diversity and Access, I also work closely with the GSP team and am the Debate Liaison, having been a longtime competitor and coach for the activity.

Reed Kohls

Admissions Officer

My name is Reed Kohls and this is my first admissions cycle at Georgetown. I represent the regions of Southern New Jersey, Western Pennsylvania, Southern and Central Virginia, and West Virginia. Additionally, I work closely with the Georgetown Scholars Program (GSP) and help coordinate the Georgetown Admissions Ambassador Program (GAAP) weekend. I am a proud recent graduate of our very own Walsh School of Foreign Service with a degree in International Economics, as well as an equally proud product of the Minnesotan public school system. Prior to coming to the Hilltop, I grew up west of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and spent time living in Northwest Los Angeles, California. While at Georgetown as an undergraduate, the most predominant groups in which I was involved were The Corp’s Hoya Snaxa, Georgetown Club Tennis, and The Hoya’s Arts & Entertainment section. I stay connected to the D.C. community through its expansive restaurant scene and local tennis matchplay.
