WELCOME!
"George Mason University's global scope is a fundamental part of its mission. This scope involves a rich mix of students whose interactions contribute directly to the educational experience. It involves informed awareness of global issues -opportunities and problems alike- and diverse reactions to them. It involves an array of globally-focused educational and research programs in Virginia and internationally. These various connections reflect and promote the values of global citizenship.
-Provost Peter N. Stearns
