Thursday was the first day of freshman move-in. New and old students gathered for First Night Mason, an annual event sponsored by Student Activities. Students participated in karaoke, relay races, and other events. Starbucks gave away coffee samples, and students seemed to enjoy the start of the new school year.
Fourth Estate is George Mason University's official student-run news outlet.
The organization was formed in Fall 2013 in collaboration between the student newspaper, Broadside, and an student-run news website, Connect2Mason.
Our mission is to inform Mason students, faculty and alumni about what's happening in the community. Through a weekly publication and an online presence, Fourth Estate covers everything from the Board of Visitors to the next concert coming to the Patriot Center.
