George Mason University, the largest public research university in Virginia, has a strong tradition of conducting research of consequence, from our pioneering work in cybersecurity to developing new ways of testing for COVID-19.

Mason is launching a brand awareness called “The Secret’s Out,” which aims to reintroduce Mason to Northern Virginia and to remind the on-campus community, alumni and supporters how Mason has emerged as an educational, cultural and economic driver over the past half-century.

Cyber security engineering major Mitchell Martinez is poised to become the first in his family to earn a college degree.

Accounting major Isabella Bah began her Mason journey as a student in the Early Identification Program.

Graduating senior Destini Manuel is fully dedicated to saving lives and aspires to be a surgeon.

The State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) approved Mason’s proposal to set the stage for a reorganization of the Volgenau School of Engineering to a newly formed College of Engineering and Computing, comprising the proposed School of Computing and Volgenau School of Engineering. The College of Engineering and Computing will be led by Ken Ball. The change will become effective on April 1, 2021.
