DeGioia with its 2017 Achievement Award, the highest award bestowed by Washington, D.C.’s ADL, which said, “DeGioia has an unyielding commitment to civil rights, religious tolerance, and creating a community where all faiths are welcome and respected. At Georgetown, Dr. DeGioia has helped create the pioneering Center on Jewish Civilization and has partnered with ADL to help establish the Bearing Witness program.” The award came during reported instances of swastika graffiti on the university’s main campus.
