On Tuesday, September 16, members of George Mason University Life Advisory Board, staff, supporters, and friends gathered on the Fairfax Campus to plant a tree in honor of their fellow board member Jim Green.
Leading the way with passion, vision, and a big heart, Jim helped found University Life’s annual golf tournament and worked tirelessly for 30 years to ensure its success. His volunteer leadership helped raise critical support for first-generation students who are forging new paths and brighter futures through education. With his help, the golf tournament raised one million dollars in scholarships for Early Identification Program (EIP) and Student Transition Empowerment Program (STEP) students, changing the lives of students and their families for years to come.
The tree serves as a lasting symbol of Jim’s legacy, rooted in generosity, leadership, and an unwavering commitment to generations of student success.
