Mason Lighting the Way
Spotlights from the Task Force
More than 130 faculty, staff and students are working on George Mason University’s Anti-Racism and Inclusive Excellence Task Force, which is taking a hard look at the current state of diversity and inclusivity efforts at the university and making recommendations for the future.
These individuals come from across our campuses and bring their different skill sets and expertise to this work. In this series, we will spotlight members of the task force and find out what drives them.
Creston Lynch
Assistant Vice President, University Life
Committee: Co-Chair, Campus and Community Engagement
Creston Lynch tells people he started his career in multicultural affairs as a freshman at the University of Memphis when he walked into the then-named office of minority affairs and got a job as a student worker.
“In a way I’ve never left,” Lynch said. “There hasn’t been a day in my career where I haven’t been centering my work around diversity, equity and inclusion.”
