Title A name given to the resource GMU and the Iraq War Subject The topic of the resource Iraq/Afghanistan Description An account of the resource During the Iraq War (2003-2011), George Mason University saw an increase in military enlistments among students, reflecting national trends. Some students supported the U.S. invasion, citing concerns over national security and terrorism, while others questioned the justification for war, leading to debates on campus. Veterans returning to GMU faced challenges adjusting to academic life, prompting the university to expand support services. In 2009, GMU established the Office of Military Services to assist veterans and active-duty students with academic and financial resources. By 2020, the university launched the Military, Veterans, and Family Initiative (MVFI) to consolidate support for military-affiliated students. Throughout the war, faculty and students engaged in discussions on U.S. foreign policy, the war’s impact, and the broader consequences for the Middle East.

Title A name given to the resource GMU and Afghanistan Withdrawal Subject The topic of the resource War/GMU Description An account of the resource The U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021 prompted discussions at George Mason University, particularly among faculty and students involved in international relations, military studies, and conflict resolution. Professors from the Carter School for Peace and Conflict Resolution analyzed the implications of the withdrawal, including its impact on global security, U.S. foreign policy, and Afghan civilians. For veterans and military-affiliated students, the withdrawal was a significant moment, leading GMU to provide additional support through its Office of Military Services and Military, Veterans, and Family Initiative (MVFI). The university offered counseling and academic resources to help students process the end of the 20-year war, especially for those who had served or had personal connections to the conflict. The event also sparked broader discussions on the lessons learned from U.S. military involvement in Afghanistan.
