IMF/World Bank Weekend

In addition to all of the events going on campus this weekend, it was also the spring IMF/World Bank meetings. On Saturday, a few roads around the campus were blocked and there was a heightened police presence.

The spring meetings typically tend to be less protested than the fall meetings. Last semester, activity was intense with protesters walking through the streets of Georgetown. One store clerk was injured when a brick was thrown through the Abercrombie & Fitch storefront. Check out our report here.
