The Student Government advocates the interests of the student body of George Mason University Korea (GMU Korea), educates the University community regarding the state of the institution, and represents the interests of each student. The Student Government of GMU Korea will serve as a liaison to the administration, faculty, staff, and University community in Korea and with the counterparts at GMU’s home campus in Fairfax Virginia.

The Student Government of George Mason University Korea is a body that is intended to assist in relations between the GMU Korea administration and GMU Korea students, and between IGC Foundation and GMU Korea students. The primary objective of the Student Government is to improve and maintain the quality of student life at GMU Korea. Any other goals are parts of achieving the primary objective. The Student Government will achieve its objective by raising concerns and problems students might have, as well as organizing activities for the student community.

The Student Government shall also consistently maintain and develop relations between GMU Korea Faculty and Students. The success of the Student Government rests on the trust and dedication that GMU Korea Community places on them. The Student Government of Mason Korea is a leadership and development platform created by Mason Korea for the growth of its students and the institution. Finally, the Student Government will remain independent of influence and undo direction or control from GMU Korea Staff or others.

For the Spring 2025 Semester Student Government will work on:

Our aim is to create a vibrant student community with high student engagement. This involves establishing academic support programs and fostering inclusive spaces where students feel empowered to grow and make meaningful contributions to their community. 

Introduce a program dedicated to nurturing friendships between Fairfax students and Korean domestic students. This initiative seeks to foster an inclusive and welcoming environment where cultural exchange thrives, enriching the campus experience for all. 

We're dedicated to promoting interaction between students and faculty beyond the classroom. By introducing initiatives to create inviting spaces for these encounters, we aim to encourage conversations, mentorship opportunities, and a stronger sense of community within the academic environment.
