With the support of Schar School connections, senior Sharanya Maddukuri landed two career-defining internships this past spring and summer.

When it comes to summer, perhaps the last place many students want to be is back in the classroom. But the students of George Mason University’s Early Identification Program (EIP) are, as they say, “built different.”

George Mason University has a strong track record of preparing students for careers. And the Honors College is working to make sure Honors students are ready to shine in a competitive job market. 

Keil Eggers, who is graduating from Mason with his PhD in Conflict Analysis and Resolution, has been a champion of complexity-informed conflict transformation, futures, and SenseMaker: a technology that applies a quantitative framework to narrative data submitted and interpreted by the subjects themselves. 

Students in the Honors College Consults course work as consultants for major industry partners in order to solve complex business problems.

From being an orientation leader to working as an environmental field interpreter for school programs, Jason Mercado made the most of his time at Mason by building up the campus community.
