Eric Trump Gives Shout Out to Georgetown During Republican National Convention

The son of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump let Georgetown University know he still has much love for the school during the convention last week.

Eric Trump, the third child of Donald and Ivana Trump, graduated from Georgetown University with honors with a degree in finance and management in 2006, after which he joined the Trump Organization.

"It was inspiring spending the morning with some amazing students from my alma mater @Georgetown at the #RNCinCLE," Trump tweeted July 21, adding a picture of a poster that read, "Georgetown Hoyas for Trump."

Trump currently serves as executive vice president of development and acquisitions at his father's organization. He has often sat at the boardroom table during episodes of NBC's "The Apprentice," asking contestants questions about their performance before his father makes the ultimate decision on who stays and who goes.

"Georgetown and the McDonough School of Business are amazing institutions," Trump said in an undated Q&A with the McDonough School of Business. "I could not have picked a better university and business school to have prepared me for the business world."

Trump is a member of the Advisory Board of the Business, Society and Public Policy Initiative at Georgetown.

"Professor [James P.] Moore, who launched the initiative and is its managing director, was my professor while I studied at Georgetown McDonough," Trump said in the interview. "Not only is he an incredible person, but throughout my experience at Georgetown - and for all the years thereafter - he has remained a valuable mentor and significant part of my life. He puts a tremendous amount of passion and care into everything he does. While our daily lives can make us all somewhat cynical, I deeply care about his philosophical and genuine approach as he strives to make a difference and effectuate topics of real importance. Consequently, I am delighted to be part of this important initiative which he is heading."
