Learning Methods and Outcomes
Faculty Brown Bag Lunches
The professional staff of Student Media frequently hosts faculty brown bag lunches to create ongoing relationships with academic faculty members and hear their thoughts on ways we can work together to benefit Mason students. Faculty members and academic advisers work closely with Mason’s talented students every day and we hope to learn from their expertise to form new connections with outstanding students who can benefit from our publishing, media production, and professional development opportunities.
If you would like to attend one of our brown bag lunch discussions, please email Rodger Smith at rsmith6@gmu.edu to request an invite.
