As a Living Lab, Mason aims to stimulate and support the development of new research and scholarship that use the campuses and their physical and socio-ecological structures for experimentation and education to develop and advance sustainability solutions.
As we recognize Earth Month, we highlight our year-round commitment to fostering a healthy planet.听Check back often, as this page will be updated throughout the month with inspiring stories and events.
