Family Programs and Services at George Mason University recognize the critical role parents and families play in the successful development of college students. Moreover, our outreach to parents and families is representative of Mason’s diverse student body and therefore includes opportunities for involvement for parents, grandparents, spouses, loved-ones, siblings, and more.

Our fundamental purpose is to define a relationship for parents and families at the University that create opportunities for involvement that begin prior to their student’s enrollment and are sustained beyond their student’s graduation from the University. We are committed to providing our parents and families with the necessary resources, guidance, and support that enable them to become confident and contributing members of the University community.

Mason’s parents and families will become partners in the transition and student experience with shared accountability to their students’ success and connectedness at Mason. For more information about Family Programs and Services please visit our website at http://masonfamily.gmu.edu/.

Hear what our families are saying...
"I just have to let you know that your service added such a nice touch. Even though it's a large university, no matter who I call, I feel that I'm receiving such personal attention and that goes doubly for you. You could have treated me like a business transaction but you made me feel so at ease. It was like I was the only one that ever asked for a cake. Birthdays are very important and after I spoke with you I knew that it was going to run smoothly. Thank you very much and please pass along my thanks to everyone who helped to make KellyAnn's day a bit more special. " ~Mary Ellen, mother of KellyAnn
