"We Embrace our Community"

We continue to be moved by the events that occurred at Virginia Tech on Monday. We send our deepest wishes for healing for the victims, their families, and their communities. We also wish to assure all our communities, particularly our Asian and Asian American community, as well as our Korean students, that we are committed to creating a learning environment where all our students can experience safety,
respect, and support.

As is true throughout the year, the variety of co-curricular programs we offer reflect the rich diversity of views that exist on our campus and in the world. Many of those programs facilitate freedom of expression, critical thinking, and conscious examination of difference. As the semester soon comes to a close, we hope you continue to engage in dialogue and share knowledge in a manner that embodies civility for yourself and for other individuals. With your participation, we will continue to create a strong spirit of community for Mason students, faculty, and staff.
