As we approach the holy month of Ramadan, observed from Sunday, March 10 through Tuesday, April 9, the Mason School Inclusive Excellence Committee extends its warmest wishes to all Muslim students, faculty, and staff members observing this time of fasting and reflection. The committee has reserved space to offer dedicated prayer rooms during Ramadan. These spaces are designed to provide a quiet and respectful environment for prayer and reflection.

As a community that values inclusive excellence, we recognize that the coming months are marked by various important cultural and religious observances . We are eager to support all our community members in observing these significant times in ways that are meaningful to them. We invite you to share your ideas and suggestions on how we can create accommodations or support for these observances at iecommittee@mason.wm.edu.
Wishing you a peaceful and reflective Ramadan and a happy Spring Break!

Richmond/DC Trip Interest Form
We're excited to announce that the MBAA board is in the process of organizing a fantastic trip for our MBAA members, and we need your input to make it a memorable experience! We're considering two amazing destinations, Washington D.C. and Richmond, both offering unique attractions and experiences. Given our location in Williamsburg, Richmond would be a shorter drive compared to Washington D.C., making it an appealing option. On the other hand, Washington D.C. has a lot to offer, and we could even spend a weekend.
Before we finalize the details, we want to hear from you about your preferences and interests to ensure that the trip aligns with what you're looking for in a weekend getaway. Please take a moment to fill out the interest form and provide the MBAA with your feedback.
