Clinton Global Initiative:
George Mason University recently joined the Clinton Global Initiative University Network, a growing consortium of colleges and universities whose students commit to addressing some of the world's most pressing challenges.

Mason will provide $10,000 in funding to be divided among students to support progress toward their CGI U commitments and to offset the cost of travel to the annual CGI U conference in Phoenix, AZ, March 21-23, 2014. Funding for this initiative is provided jointly by University Life and the Center for the Advancement of Well-Being (formerly the Center for Consciousness and Transformation).

Commitments to Action, a unique feature of the CGI U model, are new, specific and measurable initiatives that address global challenges across CGI U's five focus areas: education, environment and climate change, peace and human rights, poverty alleviation and public health. 

All students enrolled at Mason through the 2013-14 academic year are eligible to apply and to develop a Commitment to Action, either as a group or individually. The deadline to apply to attend CGI U in 2014 is January 17, 2014. Students can apply online at www.cgiu.org/applying_to_cgiu/. Students who apply should print or save a copy of their CGI U application and send to either of Mason's CGI U representatives: Alissa Karton (akarton@gmu.edu) or Heather Ward (hward8@gmu.edu). Students may contact either with questions about the application. Selection of students to attend the CGI U meeting is conducted by CGI U; however, any Mason student may develop a Commitment to Action and request Mason funding to support it. We anticipate being able to fund 5-10 students for this cycle.  Please note that funding is not guaranteed and depends upon the number and quality of requests received.

 Since its inaugural meeting in 2008, CGI U has brought together more than 5,500 student leaders from 135 countries and more than 800 schools. Past speakers include Mason alumna Zainab Salbi, founder of Women for Women International, as well as Madeleine Albright, Jack Dorsey, Muhammad Yunus, Hawa Abdi Diblawe, and Jon Stewart.
