In November 2022, we received a $5,000 donation from the Harvey S. Lowe & Susan Hitchcock-Lowe Foundation to help support and strengthen our K-12 outreach efforts. With the help of this donation, the Center for Leadership and Intercultural Engagement (formally the LEAD Office and the Center for Culture Equity and Empowerment) has been able to expand our K-12 partnerships.
Local Area School Partnerships
Terraset Elementary
We have been partnering with Terraset Elementary in Reston Virginia since 2023 to provide a leadership conference. Over 130 Student Ambassadors and Young Scholars (5th and 6th grade) have participated in a variety of different educational workshops that focus on leadership development, team building, communication, values development, and goal setting. The leadership conference has been facilitated by our very own Student Leadership Consultants at Mason. The partnership has benefited university students by providing an opportunity to enhance their leadership skills, and it has benefited the Terraset Ambassadors and Young Scholars by showing them what leadership looks like at a college level. The opportunity also provides a path of inspiration to students who may not have considered college previously. In 2024, our Student Leadership Consultants received the Jack Wood Award for Town-Gown Relations.
