CHSS is proud to announce our 2026 Community and Catalysts awardees. These awards celebrate distinguished alumni, faculty, staff, and students whose leadership, research, and service, have made outstanding contributions to their fields, their communities, and to the university.

Show your Patriot pride every mile of the journey: New George Mason University license plates are now available through the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), and every license plate purchase helps support student scholarships.

These stories showcase the many ways CHSS alumni are powering discovery, impact, leadership, and opportunity. Through their work, they embody the spirit of Mason Now: Power the Possible, demonstrating how a George Mason education prepares graduates not only to navigate the world as it is, but to help shape what comes next.
