We measure our success by the benefit we bring to our students, our community, and the world.


Our college, Mason's largest academic unit, provides an intellectual foundation for every Mason student and the education we offer must continue to keep pace with an ever-changing landscape.

In our classrooms we ask critical questions, provide research that informs the public about issues of importance, and empower our students and community to support the common good. What we teach and how we teach, sets up each and every student to forge ahead as they graduate, and become leaders in their communities and industries.

It all starts here.
We rely on our incredible network of alumni who generously give of their time, talent, and financial resources to help transform our programs. Your support is far-reaching: it helps us both recruit top students and aid students in need. Your support opens doors to study abroad experiences, student-led community engagement initiatives, internships, and other high-impact and essential skill-building experiences.

We invite you to give today—or to plan your future contribution. You can donate to an existing fund, or create your own. However you choose to help and regardless of the size of your gift, you will have a real and immediate impact.


There are many ways to demonstrate your support for the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. You choose when, how much, and where to give—with several ways in which you can make your commitment and ongoing support known. Gifts of any and all amounts go a long way in supporting the college.
