Title A name given to the resource The Road to Diversity Subject The topic of the resource Evolving from the Diversity Contraversy Description An account of the resource In the early 1970's, GMU was called out for having almost no diversity and no real affirmative action efforts. A 1971 report pointed out the problem, pushing the school to take action. Mason created the Office of Minority Recruitment and brought in its first African American admissions officer in 1974 to help recruit more diverse students. These were the first real steps toward making Mason the diverse university it is today. The image shows the first African American admissions officer, Andrew Evans (left).

Title A name given to the resource George Mason and the Gulf War Subject The topic of the resource GMU/Gulf War Description An account of the resource During the Gulf War in 1991, the general attitude at George Mason University was one of discussion and analysis rather than widespread activism. Unlike the Vietnam War era, there were fewer large-scale protests. Instead, faculty members, particularly in government and politics, engaged in examining the geopolitical and military aspects of the conflict. Professor Mark Katz and others provided insights into U.S. strategy and Middle Eastern affairs, fostering academic discussions on campus. While some students supported the war, others questioned U.S. involvement, leading to debates in classrooms and student forums. Overall, the university served as a space for dialogue rather than activism during this time.

Title A name given to the resource GMU and the 9/11 Attacks Subject The topic of the resource 9/11 and GMU Description An account of the resource The September 11, 2001 attacks had a profound impact on the George Mason University community. Many students and faculty had personal connections to the events, given the university’s proximity to Washington, D.C., and the Pentagon.

The university strengthened its academic focus on national security and conflict resolution, with faculty contributing to discussions on counterterrorism, international relations, and global security policies. In response to the tragedy, GMU established the annual Mason Nation 9/11 Day of Service, encouraging students to honor the victims through volunteer work and community engagement.
