Welcome to Mason

New Student Convocation

On behalf of the faculty, staff and administration at George Mason University, we welcome you to the Mason Nation and New Student Convocation!

We invite you to take some time and watch the videos below, hear from members of the Mason community, discover what Mason has to offer and learn our Fight Song from the Leader of the Green Machine, the #1 Pep Band in the nation! 
Sit back in your seat and get ready to begin your journey as a Mason Patriot! Each video is embedded with a secret word so pay close attention. Once you have completed Self, Others, & Community and Speak About It, unscramble the secret words in the Convocation videos to discover the secret message for a chance to win $500 to the George Mason Bookstore!
