Employee of the Month
George Mason University's Employee of the Month highlights the hard work and achievements of a Mason administrative/professional faculty, classified staff member, or wage employee who embodies the values of the University. Since 1991, each Employee of the Month has been honored by the University President during a special ceremony. In addition to a framed certificate, photos taken at the ceremony, and a feature in The George, each Employee of the Month receives an array of items generously donated by various departments.
