All Mason’s Key Messages apply to this audience.

Notes

Just as with current students, it may seem that faculty already know Mason and its strengths. In reality, we can always do better, making more people aware of great things happening a few buildings away and articulating key points such as “innovative” or “accessible” more fully and consistently so that they become a clear part of our self-image and a way people think about their work.
