Join us for the Core Four Alumni Game Day Tailgate — celebrating the first four academic areas established at George Mason!

In 1966, the General Assembly approved George Mason College to become a four-year institution, launching its first BA programs in Biology, Business and Public Administration, Elementary Education, English, and History — the foundation of today’s College of Humanities and Social Sciences, Costello College of Business, College of Science, and College of Education and Human Development.

Game Day Tailgate - What to Expect:
• Light bites and water provided (it’s BYOB!)
• Exclusive swag from each of the core four colleges — limited quantities available!
• A spirited Cornhole Tournament to determine which college has the most spirit.
• A relaxed, festive space to reconnect with fellow Patriots and show your George Mason pride
