“I believe in Mason’s vision to become a national exemplar of anti-racism and inclusive excellence in action, and I am committed to being a tireless champion working with our students, faculty, staff, alumni, partners, and community,” said Artis, who will report to the university’s president Gregory Washington. Washington similarly came to George Mason from the University of California, Irvine’s Henry Samueli School of Engineering last year.
Artis holds bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees in industrial and systems engineering from Virginia Tech.
