Mason and the Greater Community

President Washington's Task Force on Anti-Racism and Inclusive Excellence will focus on short-term and long-term improvements in 5 key areas in order to ensure that every student, faculty, and staff member is welcomed and respected as a full equal in this community of learning.

Together we can engage in allyship, and accompliceship, and see racial justice and an end to police brutality against Black Americans realized.
