STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP - GEORGE MASON UNIVERSITY (GMU)

On April 7, the Provosts, and Deans of CSUSB and GMU signed a 5-year agreement that committed each school to collaborate on an initiative to help prevent school shootings.  The initiative, known as ZERO-TOLERANCE, calls on the INSTITUTE  and the Jack H Brown College to work closely on all aspects of the project - research, public events, and grant requests - with the College of Education and Human Development at GMU to build a program that we believe can become a national model.
