Colleagues,

I share this announcement in case  you are interested or know someone who might be. Mason has an extremely diverse student body. Although diversity among faculty and university leaders is noticeably lower, my sense is that most people are supportive. Feel free to give me a ring if you'd like to get my perspective on Mason.
