Parent and Family Council
The Mason Parent and Family Council was established to provide opportunities for parents and families to become actively engaged, informed members of the George Mason community by serving as ambassadors for the university and prospective and current families. Members of this special group meet once per semester and advise New Student and Family Programs of important issues facing families at Mason.
