George Mason University

Here's a fun #MasonMinute. The Aquatics Fitness Center (AFC) has an Olympic-size pool, whirlpool, and more. Dive in, #MasonNation, gyms are free for full-time students.pic.twitter.com/VEJcC0zleQ

Thank you, everyone, again for the warm welcome. You can keep up with me as I tweet about Mason basketball - and all things Mason - on my Twitter account @AnneHolton. Go Patriots!pic.twitter.com/6GHlYAvJ6q

Over the past few days, I’ve been lucky to share with you some reasons I think Mason is so great. None of that is possible without our incredible community of staff, faculty, students, parents, alumni and everyone who supports us. Thank you all pic.twitter.com/QWxGogSiWZ

Research is for the arts too! @FilmGMU student Alicia Rodriguez recently won a competitive and prestigious Princess Grace Award (@PrincessGraceUS) for her experimental documentary film, A Diasporic Boricua: http://bit.ly/37rPYzB pic.twitter.com/v6mHRRmgfK

This week, the @GovernorVA announced that Virginia Catalyst has awarded $3.3 million in grants to life sciences and cancer research including Mason research that uses protein painting to discover new treatments for lung cancer and brain metastasis: http://bit.ly/2IG7Trz pic.twitter.com/txklnwZg8Y

Recently, @MasonCEHD received funding from the U.S. Dept. of Ed. to prepare the next generation of special education faculty as part of three major research projects: Project ASPIRE, Project PRISE, and Virginia is for Leaders: http://bit.ly/2QCxGpe pic.twitter.com/VYs1MRjQte

When it comes to #MasonResearch, we have heavy hitters in the humanities. Last year, @chronicle ran the numbers and found that Mason was the 8th highest recipient of funding from the @NEHgov in the past decade. Much of this funding went to @HistArthGMU and @chnm. Great work!pic.twitter.com/GoGTdVpCZi

Didn't hurt at all! The nurses at @MasonCHHS are very gentle. They are working on the #MasonHealthStartsHere study that focuses on students' health and other factors that may affect college success. Freshmen can participate and earn some money: https://chhs.gmu.edu/hsh pic.twitter.com/ivPkukVuRV

Just over the water from @PEREC_GMU, is the Point of View International Retreat and Research Center, a place where our conflict analysis and resolution folks (@SCARatGMU) can resolve conflict through open discussion and communication. Thanks, @AlpOzerdem for showing us around!pic.twitter.com/YNeaWCMYfN

Mason has many campuses, but in Woodbridge, we have a well-kept secret called the Potomac Science Center. Dr. Ferreira is there leading the Mason Flood Hazards Research Lab, which investigates and develops solutions to increase our resilience to water-related natural hazards.pic.twitter.com/djkYh5CT8T

Since 2016, Mason has been recognized as one of the nation’s top research universities (R1) by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education. We are the youngest university on that list, so today I want to highlight #MasonResearch.pic.twitter.com/hbtoOEwE8L

We were glad to celebrate our new ventures alongside our state and regional partners, including VA Sen. @BarbaraFavola, the Arlington County board/school board, as well as @Growth4VA, whose work in higher ed has helped VA become a top state for talent development and recruitment.pic.twitter.com/zuk2BfE68R

This morning, the university celebrated the past 40 years of our Arlington Campus and looked forward to our future endeavors at the George Mason University Arlington Forward event: http://forward.gmu.edu pic.twitter.com/4Hkh7xFCdj

Have you seen our concept designs for the Institute for Digital InnovAtion? The new building will sit next to Van Metre Hall in the location of the old Kann's department store.pic.twitter.com/9PCfBLVsWT

These new initiatives include the creation of the Institute for Digital InnovAtion, which will serve as a hub for local businesses, faculty, and students. And the new School of Computing will help meet the growing demand for computing professionals: https://fal.cn/35bhl pic.twitter.com/mNRcdgSoWv

In case you haven’t heard, George Mason University is growing fast! To keep up with the Commonwealth's demand for #techtalent, Mason is expanding the Arlington Campus to help grow our computing programs and tech research: http://forward.gmu.edu pic.twitter.com/nISvlhZPmF
