 Lance
Jenkinson Awarded Certificate of Excellence
George Mason University
May 18, 2007
FAIRFAX, VA - At the
official graduation convocation ceremony for the George
Mason University class of 2007, Lance Jenkinson was
awarded a Certificate of Excellence by the Faculty of
the School of Management for having "achieved a grade
point average in the top ten percent of the graduating
class in the Management major."
Founded in 1972, George
Mason University now has locations in Arlington,
Fairfax, Prince William, and Loudoun counties. While
each campus has a distinctive academic focus, the
Fairfax campus offers the majority of courses and is the
only location that offers resident housing. As the
largest university in Virginia, Mason has become a major
educational force and earned a reputation as an
innovative, entrepreneurial institution that has gained
national distinction in a range of academic fields.
George Mason University's
business school, The School of Management (SOM),
is educating and empowering future generations of
business leaders through world-class teaching,
innovative academic programs, and close partnerships
with regional and global businesses. SOM has grown
rapidly in both its regional and international
reputation. It is one of only 170 business schools
world-wide whose programs in both business and
accounting are accredited by the Association to Advance
Collegiate Business Schools International (AACSB). SOM
prepares students for increased globalization through a
range of academic programs and international alliances.
SOM currently enrolls over 3,250 undergraduates pursuing
majors in accounting, finance, management, marketing, or
management information systems and decision sciences.
SOM is especially committed
to engaging regional businesses in delivering
exceptional educational opportunities to its students.
SOM is fully engaged with the regional business
community, graduating highly qualified students as
employees, producing research that informs business
policy and operations, and providing venues for the
region's business leaders to work with our students in
the classroom and to learn from each other. Business
leaders and organizations are actively engaged through
speaker programs, classroom lectures, case competitions,
internships, and career placement. SOM also maintains
close connections to the business community through its
advisory board and advisory councils to academic
programs. Over 90 business leaders representing 75
different companies serve as advisory board or council
members.
SOM’s commitment to the
region balances well with the global focus of its
programs and diversity of its student body. George Mason
University has received national recognition for the
multicultural and international diversity of its student
population, with students representing over 130
different countries and all 50 states. SOM students
mirror the diversity of the Mason student body, and this
international focus is also represented in the school’s
71 full-time faculty members, with over 33% of the
faculty being bi-lingual.
SOM faculty, with expertise
on topics such as corporate governance, executive
compensation, effects of insider trading on stock prices
and e-commerce, bring both theoretical and applied
expertise to the classroom. Faculty members have
provided expert testimony before nearly every federal
agency and have served as consultants to organizations
such as NASDAQ, the FDIC and the Department of Defense.
SOM is consistently rated as one of the most efficient
teaching units in GMU, with the highest ratio of
students to faculty.
