Dear Alumnus,
Upcoming Events
Happy 2012! We are off to a great start of the year here at the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. th
We just held our 6 Annual Dean’s Tailgate on January 21. Over 100 alumni and friends attended this family-fun event with food, drinks, and entertainment from Mason cheerleaders, the Green Machine, and the acapella group, GMUnit! Following the tailgate, the Patriots faced off against the Towson Tigers in a glorious victory, 72-60. We had a great turnout at this year’s tailgate, and I hope to see you all next year! I’m looking forward to three exciting upcoming events: Homecoming- Men’s Basketball vs. Old Dominion Saturday, February 4 at 5 p.m. We welcome back all of our alumni for Homecoming.

I am proud to announce that Kathleen Curtis, executive assistant to the dean in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, recently won a grant from the Patriot Green Fund. Curtis plans on using her $4,835 to place beehives strategically around the Fairfax campus to teach students how beehives operate and how they can play a significant role in sustainability.

Pamela Gibbs, MPA ’86, was named first director of the Office of Minority and Women Inclusion by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Charniele Herring, BA economics ’93, has been appointed Democratic minority whip for the Virginia House of Delegates.
