The Silk Road
In 1271, Marco Polo traveled east from Venice for the adventure of a lifetime. You can start your journey here! Along the Silk Road, you will meet several Mason students and begin to experience different cultures, perspectives and ideas.
The Silk Road existed to exchange goods and ideas. Major commodities included silk, tea and spices. The exchange of ideas, such as religion, science and art, influenced and shaped societies and created hubs of culture and learning. George Mason University has many "roads" to travel. Join the students, faculty and staff as they exchange ideas and create hubs of culture and learning.
