Lonely Souls: some students to stay on campus over break Many will go home, some will study abroad, and then some will choose to stay behind and endure the winter ghost town. When classes end and the residences shut down on Dec. 22 George Mason University will go into hibernation mode for winter break. “The RAs will still make their rounds, and some restaurants in the Johnson Center will still be open,” said Resident Adivsor Michelle Garafalo a sophomore majoring in government and international politics. Even though the residences will be closed, students will still be able to stay behind, Garafalo said. Some of those staying behind are athletes, international students, and those who are working internships in the area. Not just anyone can stay behind over winter break. Special access must be requested on the select housing.gmu.edu webpage, Garafalo said. Skyline, Southside, Pilot House and other facilities will either follow a limited schedule or go into repose. The university will spring back to life Jan. 21, when residences re-open, and students return for the spring semester. -Mohammad Chowhan, Broadside Washington Post columnist to join Mason faculty Washington Post columnist and Pulitzer Prize winner Steven Pearlstein is joining the Mason faculty.
