Member Spotlight
|
|
 Peter
Stearns, Provost. Global connections form
one of the most exciting aspects of George Mason,
from our international students and their impact
on campus, to the various programs and projects
that involve us directly with other parts of
the world. As a European and now world historian,
I am deeply committed to global education, all
the more as the world daily teaches us the importance
of inquiry and openness beyond our own borders.
