Letter from the President Congratulations, graduates! The faculty, staff, and administration of George Mason University are excited to join your families and friends and other special guests today at our fifty-fourth annual Commencement.

You’re earning a degree from one of the nation’s top research universi-ties and one of the most diverse universities in the country. Because of your hard work, you are prepared for success.

But that’s only part of the story. Your Mason journey has been unlike that of any graduating class in the university’s history. You’ve dealt with tremendous adversity over the past year and displayed a drive and resilience that will serve you in all aspects of life.

When we needed you to be flexible in your mode of education to stay on track to complete your degree, you adjusted. When we needed you to be leaders in executing our Safe Return to Campus plans for the fall and spring semesters, you led.

You’ve met every challenge thrown in your path. For these and so many reasons, this class—my first spring graduating class as Mason president—will always be special to me.

About one-third of Mason graduates in recent years have been in the first generation of their families to earn a four-year degree. For our first-generation graduates today, congratulations on making family history and inspiring others. You exemplify the inclusive excellence we strive for at Mason. We discover and develop talent and provide the opportunity for that talent to grow and flourish.

Today, all of our graduates join a distinguished group of more than 200,000 Mason alumni. They, too, take tremendous pride in your suc-cess and look forward to hiring you and working with you as valued members of the Mason Nation.

Stay connected to this place where you learned so much about your-self. Nurture the relationships you established here. Come back to campus for homecomings and other events. And, of course, keep us apprised of your accomplishments as professionals and as citizens. We’ll be watching.

And remember: Once a Patriot, always a Patriot!

Jill Biden, EdD, is the First Lady of the United States, a community college educator, and a bestselling author. Dr. Biden also served as Second Lady of the United States from 2009 to 2017.

EARLY LIFE AND CAREER 

Jill Tracy Jacobs Biden was born on June 3,

1951, in Hammonton, New Jersey, to Bonny

Jean Godfrey Jacobs and Donald Carl Jacobs.

The oldest of five daughters, she grew up in

Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, just outside of

Philadelphia. She graduated from Upper More-

land High School in 1969, then graduated from

the University of Delaware with a bachelor’s

degree in English in 1975. 

In 1976, Dr. Biden began teaching English at

St. Mark’s High School in Wilmington, Delaware.

She then became a reading specialist at Clay-

mont High School. At that time, she was also

pursuing a master of education with a specialty

in reading from West Chester University. She

completed her first master’s degree in 1981.

of his two sons, Beau and Hunter. Their daughter, Ashley, was born in 1981.

Dr. Biden taught English at Rockford Center psychi-atric hospital while also pursuing a master of arts in English from Villanova University. In 1993, she accepted a job at Delaware Technical Community College. In 2007, she received a doctor of education (EdD) in educational leadership from the University of Delaware.

When Joe Biden became vice president of the United States and the Bidens moved to Washington, D.C., Dr. Biden continued her career at Northern Virginia Community College, teaching throughout their eight years in office.

SECOND LADYAs Second Lady, Dr. Biden focused on advocating for community colleges, military families, and the education of women and girls around the world.

As the Obama-Biden Administration focused on recovering from the 2008 economic recession, Dr. Biden worked to underscore the critical role of com-munity colleges in the nation’s economy. She hosted the first-ever White House Summit on Community Colleges with then-President Obama and led the Community College to Career Bus Tour to highlight industry partnerships between community colleges and employers. She also became the honorary chair of the College Promise National Advisory Board, leading the effort to make community colleges free for hardworking students.

The daughter of a U.S. Navy signalman and the mother of Major Beau Biden, a soldier in the Del-aware Army National Guard, Dr. Biden has been a longtime advocate for military families. As Second Lady, she launched Joining Forces with then-First Lady Michelle Obama, an initiative to support ser-vicemembers, veterans, their families, caregivers,

and survivors. She also released a children’s book in 2012, Don’t Forget, God Bless Our Troops, the story of their family’s experience with deployment through the eyes of Dr. Biden’s granddaughter, Natalie, in the year her father, Beau, was deployed to Iraq. 

During her first White House tenure, Dr. Biden trav-eled to nearly 40 countries, visiting military bases, hospitals, and refugee camps, and advocating for education and economic empowerment for women and girls.

Dr. Biden’s advocacy for more cancer education and prevention began in 1993, when four of her friends were diagnosed with breast cancer. Following that year, she launched the Biden Breast Health Initiative to educate Delaware high school girls about the importance of early detection. After Dr. Biden and then-Vice President Joe Biden lost their son Beau to brain cancer in 2015, they helped push for a national commitment to ending cancer as we know it through the White House Cancer Moonshot. 

LIFE AFTER THE OBAMA-BIDEN ADMINISTRATION Following the Obama-Biden Administration, then- former Vice President Biden and Dr. Biden launched the Biden Foundation and the Biden Cancer Initiative. 

Her New York Times bestselling memoir, Where the Light Enters: Building a Family, Discovering Myself was published in 2019. That was followed by her second children’s book, JOEY: The Story of Joe Biden, which was published in 2020.

FIRST LADY As First Lady, Dr. Biden continues her work for edu-cation, military families, and fighting cancer. She is a professor of writing at Northern Virginia Community College.

edal Recipient

The Honorable Tom Davis

Tom Davis’s first foray into politics was at the age of 14, when he was selected to serve as a United States Senate page for four years. He graduated from the Capitol Page School in 1967 and matriculated to Amherst College, where he earned his degree in political science with honors.

After graduating from the University of Virginia Law School, Davis was first elected to office in 1979, representing the Mason District on the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors. In 1991, he was elected countywide to serve as chair-man of the board. Despite a severe economic downturn and a county budget deep in the red, Davis was able to implement numerous reforms that resulted in Fairfax being named the best managed county in the country by Governing magazine.

In 1994, Davis won a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives to represent the 11th Congres-sional District of Virginia. Throughout his tenure in Congress, Davis was widely recognized as a skilled legislator, an honest broker, and a political mastermind. Through legislation such as the D.C. Control Board Act, he helped rescue the District of Columbia from its troubled fiscal situation and sponsored legislation that resulted in the closure of the Lorton prison complex, a longstanding but previously unachievable goal for the citizens of Fairfax County.

Davis earned national recognition as chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee in 2000 and 2002, where he was instrumental in maintaining his party’s majority in the House of Representatives. In 2002, for only the third time in American history, the political party of the president picked up seats in the House in a midterm election.

After the 2002 election, he was named chair-man of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, gaining national promi-nence once again by chairing hearings on the use of steroids in baseball.

Davis is a partner at Holland & Knight and serves on several nonprofit and corporate boards, including the George Mason University Board of Visitors, where he served as rector for six years.

He teaches at George Mason University as a Distinguished Professor, is the author of a recently released book that he wrote with former Democratic congressman Martin Frost about the polarization of the U.S. Congress, and is often asked to appear on network television political shows to discuss the current political landscape.

Davis and his wife, Jeannemarie, live in Vienna, Virginia, with their Maltese pup, Duchess.

2021 COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM 5

George Mason University Since its beginnings in 1957, George Mason Uni-versity has experienced a steady transformation from regional commuter school to national power-house. Mason’s rise is no coincidence, but instead reflects a purposeful path committed to embracing new ideas and adapting to the evolving needs of the community. More than a half-century later, Mason’s reach extends across the commonwealth and into the global arena, with a diverse student body com-prising students from all 50 states and 130 countries, a campus in South Korea, and world-renowned fac-ulty and researchers dedicated to both focusing on complex problems and nurturing the next generation of thinkers and leaders.

Even as Mason continues to make an impact region-ally, nationally, and globally, we have never wavered in our commitment to inclusivity and our belief that higher education should be accessible to all.

Guided by our motto of Freedom and Learning, Mason strides into the future with a spirit of inno-vation, an acceptance of wide-ranging viewpoints and cultures, and a conviction to stand firm to our principles. In a rapidly changing world of increasing complexity, George Mason University is in a unique position to make change happen by producing the leaders and solutions that our world needs.

6 GEORGE MASON UNIVERSITY

George Mason, the ManGeorge Mason IV was the primary author of the Vir-ginia Declaration of Rights and Virginia’s first consti-tution, written in May and June 1776, which served as examples for other states. He was highly regarded by contemporaries for his intellect and abilities. Thomas Jefferson described him as “a man of first order wisdom,” and James Madison described him as “the soundest and clearest reasoner I have ever listened to.” A reluctant public servant, he has been referred to as the “forgotten” or “unknown” founder.

In 1787, Mason attended the Constitutional Con-vention in Philadelphia. James Madison, although known as the Father of the Constitution, attributed much of the final document to Mason. Mason refused, however, to sign the Constitution, because it did not guarantee the rights of the people. By his principled opposition, Mason ultimately assured the adoption of the federal Bill of Rights based on his Virginia Declaration of Rights. As demonstrated in the

language set forth in Mason’s own documents, he was acutely aware of the moral depravity of slavery—yet he owned slaves. He proposed an elimination of the slave trade as a first step toward eventual emanci-pation, yet he did not make provisions for the care or release of his own slaves upon his death.

On April 12, 1996, a seven-and-a-half-foot statue of George Mason presenting his handwritten draft of the Virginia Declaration of Rights was dedicated at the university. In 2021, the Enslaved People of George Mason memorial will be installed on Wilkins Plaza in proximity to the statue. The statue serves as a constant reminder of the ideals of freedom and learning most important to both Mason the man and the university that bears his name, while the memorial honors the memory of two of the hundreds of individ-uals enslaved by Mason. Together, these landmarks illustrate the complicated legacy of George Mason, the man.

Highlights of George Mason University’s HistoryThe university’s formal history began in 1957 as Uni-

versity College, the Northern Virginia branch of the

University of Virginia (UVA), offering courses in engi-

neering and the liberal arts. It opened in a renovated

elementary school in the Bailey’s Crossroads area of

Fairfax County with an enrollment of 17 students.

In 1958, the Town (now City) of Fairfax purchased

150 acres and donated the land to the University of

Virginia for a permanent branch campus, then known

as George Mason College.

Just 14 years later, George Mason University

became an independent member of Virginia’s

The George Mason MedalThe George Mason Medal is designated by the George Mason University Board of Visitors to be the universi-ty’s highest honorary award.

This medal is designed to honor George Mason, the man. Those receiving the award should have a record of service to their community, state, or nation consistent with the level and quality of George Mason’s public service in his own time. George Mason, a native of Northern Virginia, was never elected to public office, but he was a public leader in the cause of freedom during the Revolutionary War and the formative years of the United States of America.

The George Mason Medal is awarded from time to time at the university’s annual commencement exercises with a special and distinct place reserved on the program for the presentation of the medal.

About the University MaceGeorge Mason University formal ceremonies begin with the entrance of the university mace, which features Mason’s seal highlighting freedom and learning and is carried in the procession by the lead uni-versity marshal. The tradition of the mace derives from medieval times when a bodyguard held a mace during ceremonial functions with the intention of protecting the royal or dignitary. The mace symbolizes the university’s governing authority and is present only when the president and the Board of Visitors are in attendance.
