Proceeds from the Mason Nation 5K will benefit student mental health and well-being initiatives that will positively impact our campus community. Funds raised will support initiatives such as:
  • Establishing new and improved MindSpas where students can relax, practice self-care and improve their overall wellbeing,
  • Installing soundproof pods that students can use for telehealth appointments in locations where more private, quiet space is needed,
  • Providing funding to offset the costs of psychological testing for students who are seeking accommodations, and
  • Funding scholarships for students who serve in the Peer Empowerment Program and work to spread mental health awareness at George Mason
