If you’ve been reading The 2300 weekly digest that drops into your Mason email every Sunday (and you should!), you know that we often post job, scholarship, and volunteer opportunites that might particularly interest our students.  This week we have quite a few and want to share them here in more detail.  Please note that CEHD shares these listings as a courtesy to our students and that George Mason University and CEHD are not vetting or endorsing these opportunites in any way.

Beta Theta Pi Scholarship:

Beta Theta Pi is new to Mason and seeks to get to know Mason’s Greek system and assist in making it more diverse given the university’s diverse environment.  Beta Theta Pi believes college men should be recognized for their success and for their desire to achieve.

 As a way to provide opportunities on Mason’s campus and to give back to our community, Beta is offering $500 in scholarships designated for non-Greek male students. The Men of Principle Scholarship is designed to reward individuals who demonstrate devotion to academic achievement and a commitment to making the university and the community better places to live.

Whether you are a student, faculty, or staff, facing a new semester and all that it holds can be a little daunting. As the saying goes, “when life is uncertain, eat dessert first!” The College of Education and Human Development (CEHD) took that maxim to heart and kicked off the fall 2017 semester with ice cream sundaes as part of its CEHD Block Party on August 31. 

The CEHD Block Party was an official Welcome Week event coordinated by the Office of Student and Academic Affairs and generously supported by Welcome2Mason.  Tables were set outside in the shade near Thompson Hall and included a sundae bar with all the toppings dished out by Associate Dean Ellen Rodgers and her staff, an information table for students with general advising questions or seeking information about CEHD Bachelor’s/Accelerated Master’s programs, a social media follower raffle station loaded with prizes, and a selfie station.  The CEHD ENGAGE Ambassadors helped ensure everything ran smoothly and everyone had fun.

The sunny afternoon brought out a great mix of new and returning students and offered them a chance to meet with peers, faculty, and staff in a relaxed setting. Friendly competitions took place over games of Corn Hole and Can Jam where Mason LIFE students schooled all the competition.  Professors and students invented new ways to fit more friends into a selfie. Everyone did their part to eat ice cream faster than it could melt.  The communal spirit at the heart of CEHD was evident everywhere as everyone took a deep breath, remembered to laugh, and started looking forward to the semester ahead.
