Earth Day event showcases Mason’s multidisciplinary approach to fighting climate change

George Mason University’s multidisciplinary approach to tackling climate change will be on full display on April 22 when a panel of researchers gathers on the Fairfax Campus at the Johnson Center Cinema to discuss the many facets of the problem and how to best address them.

“Climate 3.0: The Science, the Politics and the Policy Agenda” includes a thorough examination of the issue of climate change in the form of discussing the science itself, policy and communication. University Professor Jagadish Shukla, who is also the managing director of the Center for Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Studies (COLA), will oversee the special Earth Day event, which will run from 3 to 6 p.m., and include renowned panelists such as Thomas Lovejoy, Andrew Light, Tyler Cowen, Jim Kinter and Ed Maibach. Robinson Professor and Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Steve Pearlstein will serve as the panel’s moderator.

23rd Annual Victims’ Rights Run/Walk

Every April, University Life departments, Mason Athletics, Mason Police, and community sponsors have honored the life and legacy of former student athlete Aimee Willard with the annual Victims’ Rights Run/Walk 5k.

Join the Mason community on Thursday, April 11, at noon in front of Merten Hall to participate in this year’s event.

The Victims’ Rights Run/Walk is an interactive way to learn about all types of violence and raise money for a great cause.
