“Mason Korea upholds the identity of George Mason University, while blending unique Korean elements, offering the best of both worlds," said Mason Korea Campus Dean Joshua Park, in his welcoming address at the 2025 Spring Convocation ceremony.
Over 250 attendees, including students, family members, faculty, staff, and distinguished guests gathered for the celebration at the Incheon Global Campus Small Theater. "One of our greatest strengths is our diversity, creating an environment where students from 25 countries can connect, learn, and embrace different perspectives," added Dean Park.
"Admission to Mason Korea is becoming increasingly competitive each year, driven by our distinctive programs and global network," said Kelley Chung, Associate Dean of Admissions and Enrollment. "As a leading American educational institution in Korea, we are dedicated to both expanding our reach and enhancing the quality of our programs."
Shannon Davis, Associate Dean for Faculty and Academic Affairs, also delivered congratulatory remarks, followed by a speech from Mason Korea Student President Jimin Choi.
Adding to the celebratory atmosphere, select students who participated in Mason Mingle —activities designed to introduce new students to university resources and the community — were honored with the "Mason Korea Spirit Awards" for their outstanding community spirit and leadership.
Distinguished guests such as Byung-geun Park, CEO of the Incheon Global Campus Foundation, and Taejun Han, President of Ghent University Global Campus, also attended the event.
