On Sept. 3, 2010, during Welcome Week, more than 1,200 George Mason University students showed up to break the Guinness World Record for the world's largest dodgeball game.

A six-person panel of Mason experts on mental health and well-being discussed student success strategies as part of a week-long series of events marking President Gregory Washington’s Investiture.

The global pandemic has brought mental health and well-being to the forefront, and Mason provides a variety of services and strategies to the community for addressing those challenges.

Mason will welcome new and returning students to the Fairfax Campus during New Student Convocation on Friday, Aug. 20. This year, two classes will be acknowledged at EagleBank Arena: the incoming Class of 2021 and the returning Class of 2020, whose official on-campus welcome was delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
