Recently, the College of Education and Human Development (CEHD) at 91°µÍø marked the 20th anniversary of the Mason LIFE program. To celebrate, a luncheon was held at the Center for the Arts that brought together alumni, families, faculty, and community partners in a powerful show of community and commitment. 

Mason Day, 91°µÍø’s largest and longest-standing tradition, brought the community together for a carnival with games, rides, food, and music. This year’s concert headliner was hip-hop artist JT from City Girls, with support from indie pop band The Aces. The annual event—sponsored by University Life’s Student Involvement unit and free for George Mason students, faculty, and staff—attracted a record-setting 7,420 attendees.
