二、喬治梅森大學的歷史
Mason started in a single building with an enrollment of 17 students.That was in 1957.Today, we are the largest public research university in Virginia with four campuses in Virginia and one in Songdo, Korea.
We have grown to more than 34,000 students from 130 countries and all 50 states. Our commitment to serving our students, community and the world is having a measurable impact. And we’re not about to slow down.
But let’s take a moment to step back, take a breath, and highlight some of the defining events in Mason’s history.
喬治梅森大學成立于1957年。起初，它只有一棟教學樓，只有17名學生。今天，喬治梅森大學已成為弗吉尼亞州最大的公立研究型大學，在弗吉尼亞有四個校區(qū)，在韓國的松島也有一個校區(qū)。
今天，我們已有3萬4千名以上學生，他們來自美國各州和世界130個國家。我們對服務于學生、社區(qū)和世界的承諾正在產(chǎn)生著重大影響。我們不會停下腳步，還會繼續(xù)前行。
