Mason Chooses Kindness and United States of Kindness
Mason Chooses Kindness is proud to join the United States of Kindness in their national movement of building a kinder country. Together, we’re collecting acts of kindness across George Mason University with a goal of reaching at least 250 acts.
In honor of America’s 250th anniversary, this initiative aims to establish kindness as a defining national value, leaving a lasting legacy of unity that extends beyond 2026. We invite students, faculty, staff, and community members to join us!
Acts of kindness will be collected from July 1 through December 31, 2026.
Help us track and celebrate our collective impact across the George Mason community and beyond by sharing your acts of kindness:
Anyone can submit multiple acts!
What Counts as an Act of Kindness?
Acts of kindness can be big or small! For example:
- Helping a neighbor or someone on campus (holding the door open, helping them carry something, etc.)
- Taking time out of your day to intentionally check on a colleague, classmate, or friend
- Giving directions to someone who is lost
- Inviting someone you don’t know to your study group
- Helping a roommate/floormate/officemate with something
- Submitting a Pat for Patriots
- Nominate a Kindness Ambassador (once the nominations open)
- Donating to a Donation Drive
- Volunteer Hours/ Service Project Participation
