Approximately 179,000 copies were mailed this year. Special profiles in this section focus on significant achievements and reflect the varied interests of our alumni. Feature articles center on events and activities of the university community, with special emphasis on the alumni component. This customizable start page is designed to be a lifetime link to George Mason, with university news and sports, links to university websites, free e-mail for all alumni, a powerful search engine, local weather updates, personal investment portfolio tracking, online shopping with proceeds benefiting the Alumni Association, and much more. The alumni chapters of the George Mason University Alumni Association publish and mail their own newsletters.
Some chapters use e-mail to publish their newsletters electronically.
An increasing number of departments without chapters are producing alumni newsletters as well. Membership enrollment is free. The Alumni Association has contracted with On Campus Marketing to provide custom-made diploma frames to new graduates. The frames are made of imported hardwood, double matted, and embossed with George Mason University and the official university seal. The frames are very reasonably priced, and the Alumni Association receives a royalty payment on each one sold.
