2026 Outstanding Achievement Awards: Call for Nominations
The Outstanding Achievement Awards (OAA) are a cherished George Mason tradition, honoring the dedication and accomplishments of faculty and staff.
Last year, refreshed award categories led to a 146% increase in nominations! This year, we are continuing with those categories to ensure all non-student employee classifications have the opportunity to be recognized.
