Alumnus Succeeds Father Bob

Father Bob Cilinski, chaplain and director of Campus Ministry at Mason since 1986, was reassigned to become pastor of All Saints Church in Manassas, Va., effective July 3, 2000. While he will be missed at George Mason, he has been succeeded by Father Peter Nassetta, a George Mason alumnus from 1981. For the past six years, Father Nassetta has been the campus minister at Marymount University, and while a student at Mason, he was known as the most vocal and spirited person at home basketball games.

"Mini-Plan" Might Be the Perfect Plan for Busy Alumni

For George Mason basketball fans who find they are too busy to attend every game, a three- or six-game plan might be the perfect way to support their alma mater. This new "mini-plan" option allows alumni to reserve great seats for select games without the commitment of a full season ticket purchase. Call the Ticket Office at (703) 993-3215 or e-mail Andy Ruge at aruge@gmu.edu. Enjoy the excitement of the Patriots men's and women's basketball games as they fight for the Colonial Athletic Association championship!
