Students, 

You are invited to participate in a campus recreation research study! Researchers from multiple universities are conducting a study to understand student physical activity and perceptions of campus recreation facilities, and we want to hear from you!

If you are interested in participating, please click the following link to complete a brief 5 minute survey: https://pennstate.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bdsqSKXwAfvR2js

This research will be used to inform diversity, equity, and inclusion practices for campus recreation departments at colleges and universities, including at your university! Upon completion of the survey, you will be invited to enter a gift card drawing for one of 15 $20 e-gift cards. 

Your participation in this study is voluntary, and you may withdraw from the study at any time. If you have any questions about the research study, please contact Dr. Sammie Powers at [email protected]. 

We hope that you are willing to participate in and contribute to this study; we are appreciative of your contribution to this research. Thank you in advance for your participation!

Hey Mason Nation!

It’s that time of year again! The George Mason University Annual Victims’ Rights Run/Walk 5K – VRRW will take place on Wednesday April, 27, 2022 with various activities across Mason campuses. You also have the option to also #5KYourOwnWay and participate in activities the week before.

Funds raised through this event will support student survivors through the Mason’s Victims of Violence Fund. This Fund provides Mason student survivors with trauma therapy, emergency housing, safety planning support, and many other resources.

We welcome all Mason partners, as well as all community members near and far. Since this year’s event will be hybrid, we encourage you to 5k your own way! Choose an activity that’s right for you whether it’s running, walking, swimming, dancing, yoga, etc. Spread your activity throughout the week or connect with one of the small group activities on-campus!
