The CHSS Office of Development and Alumni Relations has some ways that you can help engage with our alumni and strengthen their ties to Mason.

The nine-part Faculty Engagement series from University Life seeks to provide information about Mason students and services, hear faculty perspectives and insights from the classroom, and identify the ways our collective work in student success intersects and overlaps.

The Presidential Awards for Faculty Excellence, to be announced in spring 2023, recognize outstanding members of our community for excellence in teaching, research, social impact, and diversity & inclusion. Learn more, and submit your nominations by December 6.

The Office of Faculty Affairs and Development will offer Coaching for Inclusive Excellence (CoFIE) this month, with courses designed to support efforts to recruit, hire, and retain a diverse faculty body.
