Statement: Office of the President

University President Gregory Washington kicks off the 2024-25 school year with a message to the Mason Nation.

A growing number of American universities have erupted into jarring scenes of protests and police responses that we have not seen at universities in more than a half-century. Across Virginia, this reality has played out even on campuses that have scarcely ever experienced public demonstrations.

George Mason University announces James Soto Antony as new provost and executive vice president.

George Mason University unveils a new logo symbolizing an era of excellence and accessibility of a modern university that is All Together Different.

The university has decided not to move forward with the Washington Freedom on negotiations to build a temporary baseball and cricket stadium on the West Campus.

As George Mason University continues to explore the possibility of a temporary joint-use baseball-cricket stadium on the university’s West Campus in Fairfax, we wish to share important clarifications that we believe address urgent concerns of nearby neighbors.

"It is a long letter because we have heard that community members first and foremost are eager to learn specifics about this process. Future communications will be briefer, but I am addressing the biggest call first: for transparency."

We had quite a fall semester. So what are some of the highlights in store for this spring?

University faculty play an indispensable role in times of conflict such as this, providing our community with diverse perspectives, promoting understanding, and encouraging respectful discourse.

As we acknowledge and address the fear that our students are experiencing, it is important to denounce all forms of Islamophobia present in our community.
