Where Policy and Practice Meet the Greatest Needs
George Mason is changing the way health professionals learn and practice as we train the nurses, social workers, nutritionists, health informaticians, and policy leaders our communities urgently need. Our model for integrated, hands-on learning ensures students collaborate across disciplines to solve complex health challenges from day one. With your support, we are building a workforce ready to address the staffing crisis at medical institutions nationwide, reduce health disparities, support vulnerable families, and respond to the erosion of science and trust in healthcare with evidence, compassion, and care.
Every gift to the College of Public Health is an investment in the future of our students—and in the health of our communities. Your support removes barriers and gives aspiring public health professionals the resources they need to learn, lead, and make a lasting impact.

Why the College of Public Health? Why Now? Why You?
The health of our communities depends on a new kind of health professional: agile, interdisciplinary, and ready to lead. George Mason’s College of Public Health is answering that call. Your gift supports scholarships that keep students in school and clinics that keep families healthy. It enables immersive technology that helps students practice before they enter the field. It provides the key to making this all possible: endowed faculty chairs to attract, retain, and empower the world-class faculty who will prepare the next generation with the best expertise, mentorship, and tools. This is more than a donation. It’s an investment in every life our graduates will touch.

Invest in the Future of Health
Help create a new model of health education by supporting immersive learning labs and interdisciplinary trainings that use virtual reality, case simulations, and cross-sector collaboration to prepare students for real-world health challenges.

Expand Support and Scholarships
Reduce financial burdens and open doors for students in nursing, social work, public health, and health policy through scholarships, stipends, and emergency funds.
The program has allowed me to gain clinical experience, mentorship, and access to cutting-edge resources like VR labs and study tools.

Fuel Discovery and Innovation
We will advance faculty leadership through competitive endowed chair positions and interdisciplinary research that addresses urgent public health challenges with technologies like AI and health informatics.

Strengthen MAP Clinics
Your support of the Mason and Partner Clinics will expand access to free care in underserved communities and provide clinical training to public health students working with related healthcare professionals, further advancing our integrated model.
Paying it forward might enable students to go further than they ever envisioned—and perhaps, they will then, in turn, pay it forward themselves.
