CHSS Alumni at the Sciences of Beer: Tasting & Trivia, 2017
The CHSS Alumni Chapter was established in 2014 by the CHSS Dean's Advisory Board to support the goals and objectives of the university, the college, and George Mason's Alumni Association. The CHSS Alumni Chapter and its members represent the college within the George Mason Alumni Association.
The chapter mission is to enhance the interests and reputation of the college and to achieve a closer fellowship between alumni, students, faculty, staff, and the community. The chapter also encourages support for scholarship, promotes professional development of students and alumni, and fosters a sense of pride and commitment to the university and college.
The chapter is looking for alumni who are willing to devote time and imagination in order to realize the chapter's mission.
If you are interested in joining the board, please contact our CHSS Alumni Relations team at chssalum@gmu.edu.
