With the hustle and bustle of the holiday season sometimes we forget about basic security practices.  The holiday season is typically one of the highest crime periods of the year.  Many people have their gifts stolen while at the office or as they carry them out of stores, from their parked vehicles, and from their homes. We encourage you to take the following security measures during the holiday season.  
 
Have a safe and happy holiday season!

George Mason University announced a major land gift of 37 acres in Loudoun County, Va., from Van Metre Companies. The property is located in Ashburn, near exit 6 of the Dulles Greenway. It is within one mile of a future Dulles Corridor Metrorail station.

“We are very excited and appreciative of the great generosity of the Van Metre Companies,” says Mason President Alan Merten.

“As we assess the university’s future and determine how best we can continue meeting the educational needs of our region, this significant gift provides us with strong options to make many of our programs more accessible to many more people.”

Mason is part of the Loudoun Planning Project, a partnership with Northern Virginia Community College, Loudoun County Public Schools, the Town of Leesburg and the Loudoun County government. The group is exploring the possibility of using the land to establish a Loudoun County campus for George Mason University.
