Taking Photos? C2M Wants to See Them!
The Connect2Mason Team is pretty awesome, but we can't be everywhere at once (at least without revealing our super powers). It can be hard for us to cover all the awesome activities that happen on campus!
We need you to help us remedy this problem. We would LOVE to feature your photographs from your first week at George Mason University on our website. Events around campus, funny happenings, or even just you and your friends hanging out- these can all be of interest to the C2M team and our readers! Help us out by sending us any photos or videos you take this first week to C2Mpictures@gmail.com.
