This panel, comprised of curators and participating artists from a series of veteran art exhibitions displayed among George Mason University's Northern Virginia campuses, shared stories of visible and invisible scars endured in war, and how art can not only help the healing process, but also provide a dialogue for peace.

That feeling when you know you picked the right school! ☕✨

Just one year into her Carter School experience, Emory’s favorite memory so far is an informal tea hosted with professors! It gave her the chance to reconnect with former instructors, meet upcoming professors, and link up with classmates who share her exact interests.

In Emory's words, it was "not just academic, but purely connection-based." 🫖❤️

From finding his footing at NOVA to earning a Master’s in Urban Planning from Harvard, Omer Yousuf’s (B.A. '20) story shows what happens when education helps you build your own path! 🚀✨

When Omer arrived at the @gmucarterschool, he wanted to understand how community-level change connects to global peacebuilding. Our faculty worked directly with him to craft a curriculum that turned his passion for community advocacy into critical academic inquiry. 💡

His capstone on urban peacebuilding bridged space, society, and inclusion, leading him to graduate as an Outstanding Scholar and take his talents to Harvard University. 🏛️

"I discovered the curriculum would allow me to consider conflict across scales... my professors helped back my desire to understand structural and systemic issues." 💭

Proactive guidance makes all the difference! 📚✨

Rebecca, a @gmucarterschool undergrad, shares what sets Carter School advisors apart: they reach out first, understand the coursework inside and out, and treat every student as an individual.

"They take the time to make sure they're keeping up with each and every one of us, no matter how hard that gets." 💭

Here, high-impact advising is the standard, not the exception.
