Welcome!

Enjoy your summer, old and new Patriots!

To the Class of 2016,

Welcome to George Mason University and congratulations on becoming a Patriot!  College is an amazing opportunity to meet new people, encounter different ideas, and challenge yourself.  At George Mason University, we hope to provide you with the tools and resources necessary to accomplish these feats and any you have your mind and hearts set on.

If there is one word of advice you will hear time and time again, it is this: get involved!  College is more than the classroom.  Are the hundreds of clubs and organizations we have not enough to suit your palette?  Come on down to the Office of Student Involvement, located in “The Hub,” and talk with us about what more there is to do at Mason and how you can create your own club with just an idea and a few friends.

Innovation has become the tradition at Mason, where every student organization began with an idea and a group of motivated individuals.  From engaging professors in a flash lecture on a plethora of topics to teams playing hockey at the bottom of a pool; from a dining experience catered to on and off-campus students to passionate debates on moral and ethical issues in the North Plaza.  Each event, program, service, organization and idea began and continues to function of the spirit of motivated students.  We challenge you, as our fellow Patriots, to join this process, add your voice and innovate your traditions.

As your Student Body President and Vice President, we are here to serve you and to help you achieve these goals.  The role Student Government plays at Mason is as student lobby, a group that advocates on behalf of the more than 32,000 students to the faculty and administration.  Recent ideas that have come to fruition include Flash Lectures, the annual Academic Advising Expo, Gold Rush, and Witch Watch.  Our organization is hard at work to serve you and the needs of the Mason community; put us to work—as Patriots we hold you to a high standard, and we expect you to do the same for us. Our office is located in the Office of Student Involvement, in “The Hub.”  Reach out, challenge us, ask questions and tells what you would like to see done—our door is always open!

 

Welcome to Mason, fellow Patriots!

 

Always faithful,

Alex Williams and Jordan Foster

Student Body President and Vice President
