Since 2022, eduroam has been George Mason’s primary Wi-Fi network, offering secure and seamless access across all campuses and at hundreds of participating institutions worldwide. While many users have already transitioned to eduroam, please be aware that MASON-SECURE will be permanently shut down on Friday, December 19, at the end of this semester.
