C2M strives to provide the George Mason University community with the most up-to-date information and stuff you want to know.

We man the helms of social media, and work on live coverage for major events – inaugurations, debates, forums and meetings – covering them thoroughly so our readers can be there without actually being there.
But guys, we can’t be everywhere all the time. Not without magic. Or at least without some help.
