Student Government Moves Online

Hey Mason Nation!

Over the last few weeks Student Government, like many of our classes, has made the transition online. Despite this online format, we continue to advocate on behalf of the student body.

Over the last month we have made some amazing strides:

  • In partnership with Mason Facilities, we have created a brand new outdoor study space in the wooded area between the Enterprise Hall, the Arts and Design Building, Research Hall, and the Engineering Building. This new space will be called “The Grove”. Landscaping is already completed, and furniture will arrive soon. Thank you to Hunter Young, our Undersecretary for Facilities, and the whole University Services team.
  • In partnership with Parking and Transportation, we have paved the way for parking accommodations for Purple Heart recipients. Thank you to Kimberly Posada, our Senate Military Liaison.
  • Our University Life team has put together an amazing series of online events and activities for Patriots in Action, which helps raise awareness for sexual assault, consent, and more. Follow our social media (@masonstudentgov) for more details.
  • And more… check out our legislation log for full details, and don’t hesitate to reach out via email or social media.

Gold Rush 2019

Wow! Gold Rush 2019 was an absolute blast. This year Student Government partnered with the Patriot Activities Council and the Resident Student Association to host one of the most popular events of the fall semester. 

Gold Rush kicked off with a lively tailgate outside of EagleBank Arena followed by giveaways, games, and great pre-game activities at 5:30 PM. Well before doors opened there was already a line of eager students waiting to receive one of the free Gold Rush 2019 t-shirts, beanies, or caps. We gave away hundreds!

Parents, siblings, and relatives visiting for Family Weekend were treated to an extra special night of basketball madness. The Patriots won 76 – 65 against the Longwood Lancers. Check out one of our favorite moments from the game here.

Tonight’s success though wasn’t without months of preparation and handwork by all the partners involved. We want to specially thank both the Secretary for University Life, Logan Hoover, and the Chairman for the University Life Committee, David O’Connell, for their dedication over the last several weeks.

Most importantly, thank you Patriots for coming out and showing your support. Cheers to a successful Gold Rush 2019!
