Finally, the Student Government will remain independent of influence and undo direction or control from GMU Korea Staff or others.
For the Spring 2024 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.
