Good Neighbor Program

The Good Neighbor Program

The Office of Community and Local Government Relations, along with the Office of Contemporary Student Services, has developed a multi-pronged program to strengthen the university’s relationship with our surrounding neighbors, as well as to help educate our off-campus student population on how to be good neighbors in the communities in which they live.

Student Education Materials: Fun products, such as red cup magnets, flashlights, card decks and other items, imprinted with information to help educate off-campus students on how to be a good neighbor. These materials are distributed through various Good Neighbor programming initiatives.

Student Conduct Office: Community members can file an off-campus student incident report with our Student Conduct Office directly online: https://studentconduct.gmu.edu/contact-us/reporting-an-incident/incident-reporting-form/

Mason Rock the Block: An annual event held in September to introduce Fairfax Campus students to their greater community which includes a local-elected officials meet-and-greet, food, music, giveaways, and a leadership challenge between elected officials and Student Government leadership.

Fairfax Campus and Community Advisory Board: An advisory board established to share information among Fairfax City, County, and University on issues of mutual concern and provide recommendations on those issues from varying perspectives.

Emma: An email notification system to share information about university activities that may interest or impact the community.
