About Us

MISSION

We disrupt normative views and systemic obstacles of higher education to amplify the success of contemporary college students at Mason.

VISION

Mason is a contemporary community where each student belongs, realizes, and thrives.

WHO ARE CONTEMPORARY STUDENTS

Contemporary students are students who have had more experiences than most college students in their lives before coming to Mason. They have been working professionals, have families, and so much more. They may have experienced things a lot of other students haven’t, like – being in the foster care system or in the military. They are students who don’t always see themselves reflected or fully supported in college outreach materials or campus programming.
