George Mason University is community driven and a community driver. Whether educating the next generation of leaders for the classroom, the hospital, the boardroom, or Capitol Hill, or providing quality entertainment through its high-caliber arts and sports programs, Mason displays an excellence that extends to the vibrancy of the community at large. The university’s contributions to quality of life, together with the billions of dollars the university contributes to the economy, truly make Mason an important and engaged partner with the local community.

The Office of Community Relations is the primary contact for individuals, business and community organizations, and local municipalities that seek involvement with Mason. As you explore our website you will discover the variety of community outreach programs and opportunities we provide. Our office is here to share the university's many resources with individuals and groups in the Northern Virginia region and beyond. We look forward to working with you.

Thank you,
