What makes the George Mason University - Costello College of Business an kind of business school...and a fun place to work?

Our people do.

Over the past two days, the University Day service award ceremonies recognized faculty and staff members who have served George Mason University and/or the Commonwealth of Virginia for five through 50 years of service.

Included among these were six of our team members who were honored during the Gold Day luncheon on Wednesday for 20 or more years of service—two marketing professors, a finance professor, an accounting instructor, an administrative associate from undergraduate advising, and the assistant dean of Costello's career services unit.

Yesterday's Green Day ceremony honored 28 of our team members with service years of 5, 10, and 15 years. This group included faculty and staff from our advancement and alumni relations, assessment and accreditation, career services, center for retail transformation, dean's office administration, information technology services, graduate programs, and undergraduate advising teams, along with faculty and staff from the accounting, foundations, information systems and operation management, management, and marketing areas.

We're grateful to these dedicated faculty and staff members for their years of service and their commitment to helping us foster inclusive excellence and a cohesive culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the Costello College of Business.

The George Mason University - Costello College of Business is a place of opportunity for all students, especially for first-generation college students studying business and aspiring to a career as an entrepreneur.

Just ask Ava Uppal, BS Marketing ’19—a first-generation alumna and MBA student, a self-described dream chaser and founder of Baked à la carte, who just released her new book, “Baking Memories.”

The cookbook is a nod to her Parisian roots and her mother’s baking legacy, and is filled with recipes inspired by her beloved mother and her own life as a first-generation immigrant, George Mason alumna, working mom, military spouse, and entrepreneur.

Uppal credits her success in starting and managing a small business to the business education she received at George Mason University, and the cadre of amazing mentors she encountered in the business college’s alumni community. “Being a student at Mason was the start of my American Dream journey,” says Uppal. “The alumni network has been a tremendous support to me along my journey, from student to post-graduate.”
