A Winning Combination

With dynamic new leadership and some Final Four nostalgia, the Mason Nation looks forward to another basketball season. We took the time to talk with the individuals leading our teams to victory.

Green Leaf courses make sustainability a part of Mason's curriculum

Green isn’t just a school color at George Mason University. At Mason, “green” is way of life, and sustainability is central to the university’s mission. One of the ways Mason is doing this work is with Green Leaf courses, which are designed to help to raise environmental awareness while providing students with a comprehensive knowledge of their local and global environment.

“By infusing sustainability into the curriculum, we provide our students with the knowledge and skills they need to become eco-citizens who will actively seek ways to reduce their environmental footprints.”
Provost Mark Ginsberg

Green Game competition results are in

As a result, collectively, the Mason Nation has kept more than 200 million single-use plastic containers out of landfills and prevented the release of 29,108 metric tons equivalent of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, equal to avoiding the annual emissions from 6,128 cars.
