Congratulations on becoming part of the George Mason Environmental Science and Public Policy graduate community. Whether you are already a George Mason student or coming from another institution, there are certain graduate protocols that are essential to know for a successful graduate career. This summer we will be holding a new student orientation to help acclimate you to the programs, policies, and resources available here at George Mason. This orientation will also allow you to see the campus, ask questions, and talk to students, faculty, and/or staff. The date, time, and location of the orientation will be announced soon so watch your email as well as this web page for updates. We look forward to seeing you in the fall.
