A Message from the Patriot Leaders
As we begin our Orientation season, we want to acknowledge and hold space for the unique moment we are experiencing. The US is seeing a historic and powerful movement against racial injustice and systemic racism. Earlier, we shared a statement from the George Mason University Student Government which New Student and Family Programs (NSFP) cosigned in support. We reaffirm this message and continue to condemn acts of police brutality against Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). Additionally, we are committing to anti-racist practices and education as we work to fulfill our purpose of welcoming new Mason students and family members.
In NSFP, we seek to provide every student with the tools and community they need to thrive at Mason. To better serve our students, our office commits to having tough conversations with our professional and student staff to deepen our understanding of racism on an individual and systemic level and how we can participate in transformative social justice through our programs. Our goal is to continuously work toward inclusion, active allyship, and support for the Black Lives Matter movement.
While welcoming new members of our Mason family this summer, we are actively working to help them find belonging and success in their new community. We will continue to serve as a connection to Mason resources and support, such as the Thriving Activist Toolkit, Action Items to support the Black community, and mental health services offered by Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS). Please know that our commitment to a welcoming community is also a commitment to an inclusive and just community. We are motivated by this opportunity to grow and the responsibility of this charge.
Black Lives Matter.
