Established nearly 43 years ago, Earth Month began because of the urgings of Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson, who believed that grassroots environmental activism was capable of causing lasting change. Now, Earth Month is celebrated all over the world, with associated festivities and activism usually concluding on April 22.

At George Mason University, Earth Month activities are promoted with sustainability events throughout the entirety of April, but with special events hosted the fourth week of the month. Many of the Earth Week events are hosted by Mason’s Office of Sustainability (OoS).

The Seahawks of UNC Wilmington showed on Saturday why they’re ranked No. 25 in the country. They out hit and out pitched the George Mason University Patriots in front of a raucous Spuhler Field crowd of 346, which at times seemed mostly in favor of the visitors.

Over the last 20 games Mason’s record is 2-18. During that span they have frequently beat themselves, either in the form of numerous or costly errors and missed opportunities.

George Mason University officials are currently searching for a new vice president to lead the Office of Research and Economic Development.

There were originally around 80 candidates for the job. This week, the list was narrowed down to the five finalists.

Among those interviewing the candidates is James Olds, the director of the Krasnow Institute for Advanced Study and chair of the search committee.

A few months ago he was sporting a Rollie Fingers-esque mustache, one that earned him the Movember Foundation’s “Man of Movember” title for Washington D.C.

Today, he’s clean shaven and wearing glasses along with a pea coat and scarf over a button-down checkered shirt. Brett Hendricks, a first-year graduate student at George Mason University, no longer resembles the famous Oakland Athletics closer of the mid-1970’s. Today he looks like the studious type—like himself.
