The College of Humanities and Social Sciences is proud to honor Shawn Camp, BA Sociology '21, with the 2025 Distinguished Staff Alumni Award.
Camp has led the George Mason Patriots baseball team to historic success in his third season as head coach. Under his leadership, the 2025 team posted a 40-21 record—the program’s best since 2009—and broke the NCAA record for runs in a single inning.
Camp’s 2025 Patriots also set seven team offensive records, earned 11 Atlantic 10 awards, and achieved a program-best 3.54 GPA. His coaching journey follows an 11-year MLB career and a standout run as a George Mason pitcher in the late ’90s.
Congratulations, Shawn Camp!
