Who are we ?
The Student Support and Advocacy Center empowers students to navigate barriers to academic success and personal well-being through advocacy, holistic support, inclusive services, and prevention education. Through a student-centered approach, equitable access to resources, and collaborative campus and community partnerships, we foster resilience, safety, stability, and lifelong success for all George Mason University students.
CHEERS TO TEN YEARS
Student Support and Advocacy Center is turning 10 in 2026, so we are hosting a variety of events over the month of October to celebrate SSAC’s accomplishments over the past 10 years and highlighting our services.
