Georgetown University, home of the Hoyas, has an impressive list of graduates that include former President Bill Clinton, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, Congressman Dick Durbin, former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, King Felipe VI of Spain, CIA Director George Tenet, and actor Bradley Cooper.
