Message from President Merten

The 1+2+1 program will strengthen George Mason by bringing a select group of Chinese undergraduates to the campus, broadening their educational horizons, and enriching our student population. With the support of China's Ministry of Education, it also will help George Mason develop stronger institutional links to the Chinese university partners and facilitate a wide array of initiatives Mason is developing in China, including research connections, artistic collaborations, faculty exchanges, and training initiatives.
--Alan G. Merten, President, George Mason University
