From 1985 when Mason won its first national title in women’s soccer, to 2006 when the men’s basketball team became the first mid-major to advance to the Final Four, to today, the Mason athletics program has been a source of Patriot pride.
Our university’s commitment to athletics is strong. We place a high value on preparing our well-rounded student-athletes for success. A strong athletics program improves student life, contributes to a strong sense of community on and off campus, and acts as a catalyst for the economic and cultural vibrancy of our region. It also offers a strong draw to some of the brightest and most talented prospective students in search of a comprehensive higher education experience.
“We build champions. Whether in competition or in the classroom, Mason students are trained to compete and exceed expectations. They represent us all well as they balance rigorous academics and challenging competitions. Support for scholarships, programs, and facilities shines the light on these outstanding students.”
