Investiture

Mason alumni and friends gathered at the Fairfax Campus on Tuesday evening, Oct. 19, to celebrate the impending Investiture of Mason’s eight president, Dr. Gregory Washington.

A six-person panel of Mason experts on mental health and well-being discussed student success strategies as part of a week-long series of events marking President Gregory Washington’s Investiture.

“I want you to know that I see you,” President Gregory Washington said, speaking directly to students in the audience at EagleBank Arena on Thursday afternoon and others tuning in to the event on GMU-TV. “I honor you. And I dedicate my presidency to you.

Motivational speaker Calvin Mackie told George Mason University student leaders to take on the world with hope and passion.

"It is one of the greatest honors of my life to be invested as the eighth president of George Mason University. Even after I arrived in the summer of 2020, it has been a long walk to this day." Gregory Washington, George Mason University President

President Washington spoke on Oct. 14 at a Mason Korea event in Horizon Hall on the Fairfax Campus, as part of a week-long series of events celebrating his Investiture. Participants gathered in person and virtually from the Mason Korea Campus.

The global pandemic has brought mental health and well-being to the forefront, and Mason provides a variety of services and strategies to the community for addressing those challenges.

President Gregory Washington will lead two star-studded faculty panels as part of his Investiture activities next week. Both panels will be in Merten Hall, Room 1201, and can be seen live on GMU-TV.
