Its Law School, The Volgenau School of Information Technology and Engineering, its distinguished professors such as Roger Wilkins and John Buchanan; as well as other faculty holding endowed chairs, and "Distinguished Service Professorships".

Recalling experiences traveling abroad, Merten encouraged them to consider "the global dimension" of the work they do, seeing what GMU means to other institutions around the world and what they expect of us." thus my declaring a Global Affairs major.
