Two student representatives (nonvoting members) are appointed by the Board of Visitors each year at the May meeting to serve a one-year term.","Without limiting the generality of its powers, the Board of Visitors exercises its authority principally in policy-making and oversight.

The faculty representatives sit on the Academic Programs Diversity \u0026 University Community Committee and the Finance and Land Use Committee.

It is the home of Mason's print, radio, television and internet organizations. ","Broadside, George Mason University's official student newspaper, began its life as The Gunston Ledger. An eight-page monthly printed on 12 inch by 9 inch paper, The Gunston Ledger first appeared on October 15, 1963 on the then George Mason College campus located in Bailey's Crossroads. The staff of twelve students included a photography editor, Richard Sparks, and he contributed two to four photos for each edition. The content consisted of campus news, features on GMC faculty and students, engagement and wedding notices, and some commentary.","The Ledger became the Broadside on October 28, 1969. It was explained in that issue that the name change was part of an effort to remake the paper into more of a news instrument like that of the nation's revolutionary fathers. The Broadside was a weekly paper which contained sixteen or more pages in each issue. Photography in the Broadside was mostly limited to campus events and personalities.","The Broadside became a modern newspaper with a strong student voice through the 1970s to 1990s. The main focus of the paper was on campus news and events, but also included trends and styles, commentary on national and world events, entertainment, music, and sports. In the past, photography for each issue was provided by both digital and traditional 35mm format cameras. Later they used only digital images. Broadside used staff photographers and, on occasion, major wire service outlets for its photographs.","Broadside kept its name until 2013 when it joined with the student-run news website \"Connect2Mason\" and was renamed again, this time as the \"Fourth Estate.\" Fourth Estate is an online-only publication, though it has published physical supplemental editions.","Series one was processed by Special Collections and Archives staff with EAD markup completed by Jesse Gastelle in 2010. This series was previously included in the George Mason University photograph collection. With series two, original order was preserved with initial description completed by the Student Media Office. Processed by, and EAD markup completed by, Greta Kuriger Suiter in 2013.","The Special Collections Research Center also holds the   and other University Archives collections."," maintained by the Creative Services photography staff in the Office of Communications and Marketing.","For more on the history of George Mason University, visit the online exhibit ","The George Mason University Broadside photograph collection consists of negatives, contact sheets, and prints created for use in the student newspaper Broadside. These photographs are from the Student Media Office. The total collection contains over 57,000 color and black and white images taken between the 1970s and 2001. The collection includes images of student life, campus architecture and construction, campus events, sports, faculty and staff, concert performances, and art.","Series 1 contains over two thousand photographs taken between 1971 and 1999. Ninety-nine percent of the photographs were taken by Broadside staff members, while the remaining images comprise official publicity photos of individuals or organizations. Topics in the collection include: images of the campus, student organizations, university sports, campus events, university administrative units, the GMU Board of Visitors, individuals, featured entertainers and speakers, local restaurants, and the visual and performing arts. The majority of the images are in black and white with a few color images dispersed throughout. The color images are almost all from the 1990s. Some negatives are included in this series and are found mostly with the sports photographs in boxes four and five. There are also editorial cartoon drawings in box one. This series is arranged alphabetically by subject.","Series 2 is estimated to contain more than 10,000 black and white and color negatives, contact sheets, and some non-photographic material. Clamshell boxes numbered 7 through 21 contain both negatives and contact sheets unless otherwise noted. Clamshell boxes 22 through 28 contain only negatives. Negatives and contact sheets date between the 1970s and 2001, with subjects that include George Mason University commencements and graduations; campus buildings including Fenwick Library, the Johnson Center, Finley building, Krug Hall, and on campus living facilities; images of construction on campus including the building of the Johnson Center; student life; sports; events; concert performances are especially common during the 1990s; local businesses; Broadside and campus staff. The majority of the subjects included are men's and women's sporting events, yearly campus events such as Mason Day and International Week, Broadside staffers, students, and university staff.

The office leads the university community in promoting George Mason University as a world-class institution of higher education. ","Broadside, George Mason University's official student newspaper, began its life as The Gunston Ledger. An eight-page monthly printed on 12 inch by 9 inch paper, The Gunston Ledger first appeared on October 15, 1963 on the then George Mason College campus located in Bailey's Crossroads. On the staff of twelve students included a photography editor, Richard Sparks, and he contributed two to four photos for each edition. The content consisted of campus news, features on GMC faculty and students, engagement and wedding notices, and some commentary. The Ledger became the Broadside on October 28, 1969. It was explained in that issue that the name change was part of an effort to remake the paper into more of a news instrument like that of the nation's revolutionary fathers. The Broadside was a weekly paper which contained sixteen or more pages in each issue. Photography in the Broadside was mostly limited to campus events and personalities. Currently (2012) Broadside is a weekly newspaper, published on Mondays during the semester, in print and  . In addition to campus news, the paper features local, national and world news, entertainment, sport, music, restaurant reviews and commentary that might, in some way, affect college students. Broadside prides itself on being a newspaper by students and for students, and uses the tagline \"Writing the first draft of Mason history.\"","Student groups published yearbooks under various names from 1964 until 1989.  In 1989, the yearbook staff began producing a video along with a less comprehensive print yearbook.

It is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation organized and operated exclusively for the benefit of the university. The foundation assists the university in generating private support, and manages, invests, and administers private gifts, including endowment and real property.
