2022 Award Recipients

Celebrating our distinguished alumni, faculty, staff, and students

Each year the College of Humanities and Social Sciences celebrates individuals whose leadership, research, service, and contributions have made outstanding contributions to their fields, their communities, and to George Mason University. 

These CHSS alumni, students, faculty, and staff showcase how the humanities and social sciences drive our community forward in advancing cutting-edge research, impactful service, and critical competencies for today's global and knowledge-based economy. 

On December 3, 2022 we celebrated our college’s change makers—alumni driven to improve the world around them—at our annual Community and Catalysts event.

Enjoy and share our 2022 program through the GMU-TV YouTube page.
