2025 RISE Award Recipient: George Mason University

Witness on the Field is an initiative by George Mason University Catholic Campus Ministry (GMUCCM) designed to evangelize and form student athletes into faith ambassadors. This program builds a bridge between the athletic community and the Catholic faith. The initiative launches with a “win” event (an informal, welcoming social gathering tailored to student athletes) aimed at building relationships and introducing the concept of ambassadorship. From there, interested athletes are invited to serve as “faith ambassadors,” receiving gear that doubles as an evangelization tool, with ongoing support from CCM staff.
