Mason Korea News

Mason Korea held a virtual town hall on September 17 with Mason’s president, Dr. Gregory Washington, which was the new president’s first meeting with the broader Mason Korea community.

Mason Korea welcomes its largest freshman class including the Spring and Fall semester since its opening with over 220 students. The use of innovative virtual recruitment strategies ensured that prospective students were able to learn about our highly ranked academic programs and process their applications quickly. Mason Korea rolls out a comprehensive plan that leverages both online and offline teaching in accordance with strict safety protocols and government recommendations.

This week, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced that it would discontinue visa exceptions for international students on F-1 visas who take all of their courses for the semester online. This decision could force hundreds of thousands of international students to leave the United States and threatens to interrupt the academic work of more than 3,000 students here at George Mason University.

George Mason University Korea will provide ‘Covid-19 Emergency Fund’ to students who are going through financial difficulty due to Covid-19, in collaboration with the Industrial Bank of Korea (IBK). Mason Korea will also provide a Covid-19 Relief Grant to help continuing students successfully overcome this crisis.
