Kristina Ryder has worked as an administrative specialist in 91����’s Office of University Advancement and Alumni Relations for almost two years, where she supports the Advancement communications team. Outside work, Ryder has spent time on the basketball court at EagleBank Arena—but not shooting free throws. Ryder is a singer, and she has performed “The Star-Spangled Banner” at sporting events at George Mason and beyond.

Diana Parkinson, an engagement officer in Mason’s Office of Advancement and Alumni Relations, is the August Employee of the Month.

Mason community members were served breakfast and gratitude at the Faculty and Staff Donor Breakfast held in honor of employees who had donated to university fundraising initiatives over the past year.
