Students at George Mason University’s Science and Technology campus near Manassas missed out on special Alumni Weekend events.
The university scheduled two events for the Manassas campus for Saturday, Oct. 15, 2016:
The Science Café with Dr. Barney Bishop talking about reptiles from 9:30 – 11:00 am in the Verizon Auditorium.
The Live Band “Ashlend,” scheduled from 5:00 – 7:00 pm in Beacon Hall Parking Lot along with the Food Trucks and local restaurants participation during the live concert.
But both were abruptly canceled. The school notified students by an email received by Potomac Local at 9:24 a.m. the day of the events.
“The decision was made on Wednesday as we had not gotten internal approval for the band to play since their insurance coverage was not channeled through the approval process in time to go forward,” stated campus spokeswoman Molly Grove in an email.
Both events are postponed until spring.
The band Ashlend, of Fairfax, in a post to their Facebook page stated about the postponement:
“A lot of complications culminating in a postponement.”
The two canceled events at the Science and Technology Campus were two of multiple events held at the University for Alumni Weekend. The majority of the events were held at the school’s main campus in Fairfax City.
“Normally this would attract our current student population, however, we wanted to have an open campus event to be family friendly as the music would be appropriate for people of all ages. With this past weekend being Alumni Weekend then we were trying to engage more of our 10,000 Mason Alum and their families that live in the greater Prince William area to our SciTech campus,” added Grove.
