Angelina Jolie might be coming to Georgetown University as a visiting professor. But, the air about her visit is still not clear.
As of now, it does not look like she will be paying a visit,as the college officials of the university have stated that she does not have any current plans to extend her London School of Economics (LSE) gig. However, the rep assured that such a visit or a standing visit may materialize in future and the university looks forward to the Hollywood star to come and shape young minds in the nation"s capital.
The rep also emphasized that Jolie and William Hague have an open invitation to share their perspectives and experiences anytime they are able to. Notably, Us Weekly had reported last week that the "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" actress would be coming to Georgetown University for a similar guest lecture that she plans to do at the London institution this fall.
For those who do not know, Jolie had helped for the opening of the Centre for Women, Peace, and Security at LSE last year with the help of Hague, a former British foreign secretary. In May, she signed up to become a visiting professor at the institution for this fall and released a statement saying that she hopes other academic institutions will follow this example as it is vital to broaden the discussion on the advancement of women"s rights so that crimes against women may come to an end.
She also expressed excitement at the prospect of teaching, saying that she looks forward to teaching and learning from the students, as well as sharing her own experiences of working in the United Nations and with other governments. The executive director of Georgetown University, Melanne Verveer, had also said in May that she had met Jolie on her recent trip to London and they discussed ways through which they could continue the collaboration between the sisters academic institutions.
It may be mentioned here that in the proposed fall visit, the 41-year-old Oscar winner intends to share her knowledge about women, peace, security and other subjects that are close to her heart. She will be doing so through lectures and workshops.
