DEI

At George Mason University Dewberry School of Music, the Mason Jazz Vocal Ensemble, directed by Dr. Darden Purcell, has notably marked the past year with accolades that spotlight not just their musical aptitude but the inclusive spirit that defines the university.

CEC's Chris Carr is taking his expertise to the Environmental Protection Agency for a two-year appointment, launching the agency's Office of Inclusive Excellence.

New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouie delivered a thought-provoking look at the U.S. political system as the featured speaker at Mason’s Roger Wilkins Lecture.

Several hundred people gathered on Wilkins Plaza on April 4 for the dedication of the Enslaved People of George Mason Memorial, which grew out of a student research project launched in the summer of 2017.

The Enslaved people of George Mason Memorial will be dedicated at 1:30 p.m. on Monday, April 4, as part of the university’s 50th anniversary celebrations.

Such efforts to ensure accessibility and inclusivity are key if the DEI Committee is to meet the goals laid out in its mandate, which includes increasing representation, accountability, and opportunities, as well as providing resources for addressing systemic injustices such as homophobia, sexism, xenophobia, and ableism.
