Dear Patriots,
Greetings from Mason Korea Student Government! As Spring 2023 is now coming to an end, we hope you have had a wonderful semester full of new peers, colleagues, and academic achievements.
This semester, Student Government completed its official transition from Student Council, with our university being the first in the Incheon Global Campus to expand its student governance through the introduction of the Executive Cabinet and Student Senate.
We are incredibly proud to represent Mason Korea’s biggest cohort and student body to date, with close to 200 new students joining us this semester. We had many initiatives – both internally and externally – to better our engagement for student success and satisfaction.
One of the very first initiatives we prioritized coming into the Spring 2023 semester was renewing our branding and design, such as that of our letterman jacket and communication channels, the latter of which can be found on our website (mk.sg.gmu.edu). We are extending and expanding upon these goals in the Fall semester as well, with a planned redesign of the Student and Faculty / Staff ID Cards.
Event-wise, many of our Student Senators on the Board of Major Representatives coordinated various major meet-and-greet events that our students were able to attend, something that we also plan to continue in the Fall. Student Government also took part in hosting our two largest events in the Spring semester: Mason Day and the IGC Sports Day.
Externally, this year’s cabinet was the first to lead and participate in both inter-university and intra-campus collaborations between Student Governments within Incheon-based universities including other IGC universities, and between Fairfax and Mason Korea. We also expanded our partnerships to benefit our community – renewing our partnership with sosok, a campus membership app, and building new ones with restaurants in Songdo Triple Street and regarding International Student Identity Card (ISIC) options.
Finally, as with the changes in Student Government’s governing documents which can be found on our website, we held a new set of elections this semester for three new Senator positions within Student Government open to freshmen and first-semester transfer students. We thank members of The Voice and the Election Committee for making this semester’s elections a reality. Our new Student Government roster can be found below:
