A New Strategic Partnership!

George Mason's Komak has formed an Strategic Partnership with the Middle East Awareness Alliance! Using combined resources and manpower, the two groups intend to form a speaker series that helps raise awareness and understanding among the students and community about Middle Eastern and South Asian culture, politics, and quality of life! Sign up to be a team member of the Speaker Series organization staff by sending an email to sjafarza@gmu.edu

Komak in a Nutshell

To the Graduating Classes of UVA and Mason

Soon you graduating guys are going to be alumni (or you're already one). Remember those times when it was tough to get through?

1. You didn't know where to find a good adviser or advice on courses
2. Didn't know where to get a good job while you studied that was good with your schedule
   
3. Weren't sure what field of study you wanted to get into?
4. Just needed a little bit of encouragement?
5. Etc...?

Well, I'll admit that I did and it could have been a lot easier for me and for you. That's why one of our projects in Komak is mentorship of students by way of upperclassmen and alumni.

In fact, it's one of our core principles. We want to make life easier for each other, because adjusting to the college curriculum isn't always a walk in the park. Everyone needs a little help every now and then :)

If you're interested, please contact us at adastva1@gmu.edu for Komak's Northern Va. Chapter. Mention that you're in Charlottesville in your email so that we can transfer you over to the UVA chapter :)

Best,

Welcome to Komak

Dear People,

A lot of you whom we've talked to said you were interested in the project known as Komak. Well here is the beginning of something new:

Komak is the Persian word for help, and that is precisely what this organization is meant to do.

We help our officers train for leadership by giving them hands on experience and problem solving as well as credentials to help them get their foot in the door wherever they need to go.

We help nonprofit organizations become more effective in their niches and helping them build effective alliances with viable partners.

We help students by advising and mentoring them using innovative, creative, unique, and reliable techniques.

And finally, as one of our most important duties, we help the world through our charitable projects and consulting of other goodwill organizations.

That's us in a nutshell:)
Currently we have a wonderful team in the University of Virginia, and every month the number grows, each person bringing in fresh ideas and talent to this
project and help it grow. In the end, the more you help Komak, the more Komak helps you back and in better ways.

-Dean/Ali
