In continuation of Mason’s commitment to diversity, the Women and Gender Studies program will launch a minor in LGBTQ Studies starting Fall 2019. One of the first of its kind in the commonwealth of Virginia

On Tuesday, April 23rd, the Social Action and Integrative Learning (SAIL) office hosted their third annual Seeds of Change recognition event in the HUB Ballroom. The event recognized the selfless leadership, service, and activism led by Mason students, faculty, staff and community partners.

Wednesday, May 15th at 10:00 in the Center for the Arts. All graduating Integrative Studies, Environmental and Sustainability Studies and Bachelor of Individualized Studies students will be recognized on stage.

Dr. Al Fuertes, Associate Professor at the School of Integrative Studies (SIS), received a Global Peacebuilder Award from the Daniel Fissell Music Foundation and the 2019 Outstanding Sillimanian Award in the field of Conflict Transformation and Peacebuilding by Silliman University in the Philippines.

Add that she is a member of Mason’s Honors College and a University Scholar, and it is no surprise Russell earned a 2019 Udall Scholarship, which pays up to $7,000 to sophomores or juniors committed to issues related to Native American nations or the environment

Outstanding teaching is an integral part of Mason’s mission and is deserving of significant recognition. The Teaching Excellence Awards are both institutional recognition and a monetary acknowledgment of the significant work that faculty members devote to course planning and preparation; curriculum development; and innovative teaching, advising, and undergraduate and graduate mentoring.
