Fall Family Kick-Off

Last year was like no other. As a result, this year represents many “firsts” for a significant number of students—and for Mason families, too. No matter what year your student is at Mason, this upcoming academic year represents a time of transition for everyone.

Fall Family Kick-Off was designed to help your Mason family prepare for the Fall 2021 semester. Several campus offices shared important details on a variety of topics related to student success and support. Each session will be available as a recording in the coming days.
