Dear New Students and Families,
Welcome to the George Mason University family! The Office of Orientation and Family Programs and Services serves as the home for new students and parents during your first year at Mason. It's our job to help you connect your excitement about being a new Patriot to the endless opportunities that we have for you here in our academic community.
Perhaps our most visible programs are our Orientation sessions which welcome new students and their families into the Mason community. These sessions are held in December, January, May, June, July, and August. At these programs you will learn about the history and traditions of Mason, become educated on academic and social policies and procedures, get all your questions answers, and go through academic advising and course registration.
There is no better time to be at Mason: world class faculty and staff, state of the art buildings, incredible athletic programs, and national and international recognition. Mason is an exciting place, and we are very excited to welcome you into our community.
Sincerely,
The Office of Orientation and Family Programs and Services
