Alum David Amarasinghe shares fond memories of life as a Mason student in our latest Alumni Profile.

More from the COS interview with David Amarasinghe

What is your favorite Mason memory?
Honestly, dorm life holds my favorite memories. I entered the dorm when I transferred to Mason. In my second semester, I got a room on the first floor of Brunswick in the University Commons. My roommate and I introduced ourselves to each of our new floormates. The dorm housed 26 students; 17 of them remained on our floor for the next 2 years.

As a member of the COS Alumni Chapter, how do you stay involved with current students?
The chapter is involved in several events open to current students, usually during the week. As I live in Virginia Beach, it is difficult for me to attend most of these events. I generally attend our weekend meetings and events. So far those have not involved current students. I look forward to working with current students at future events.

What’s an interesting fact about you?
I reconnected with Mason during a STEM talk. I have since been very interested in educational connections between disciplines, reaching further to include history and etymology as well. I have incorporated this into several lectures and the results have been very promising.
