Our students do amazing things in and out of the classrooms. Here is a Mason story about one of our undergraduate students, Brandon Krzynefski. Not only did he represent the US honorably and bring home a Bronze medal, he also caught up with two weeks worth of course materials at the end of November and successfully passed his courses. I am biased but I'd say the latter is harder than getting a medal.
Before his trip, I remember laughing when he forwarded a letter directly from the United States Olympic Committee, "This letter is to serve as a formal request to excuse the following individuals [.....] for the [World Championships]". What am I going to say? "No, he's not excused" :)
