Recommendations
- Marc Gopin, Director CRDC, Carter School for Peace and Conflict Resolution, 01/2024, Darien was my student this year, and I can say that his in-depth analysis of very complex global communications problems in writing was so excellent. I think he has a great future in conflict analysis and resolution, research, and problem-solving for complex problems of communications in the digital world.
- Patricia A. Maulden, Professor of Peace & Conflict Resolution, George Mason University, 03/05/2024, I met Mr. Mason when he was a student in my reconciliation course at the Carter School at George Mason University. He proved a very good student, focusing on the dilemmas associated with conflict and the pathway to reconciliation. His academic work was very solid and he earned an A in the course. Based on my experiences with him I have no hesitation in recommending him for employment.
- Isaac Jasper, M.S. Peace & Conflict Advisor | Program Director of Conflict Resolution Youth Summit, I am pleased to recommend Darien Dey Mason for his outstanding capstone research titled "AI and Cyberbullying: Their Integration and Impact on Young Teens." As a dedicated and innovative researcher, Darien has demonstrated exceptional skill and a profound understanding of the intersection between artificial intelligence and social issues, particularly cyberbullying. During the research symposium, Darien exhibited a remarkable ability to combine technical expertise with deep empathy for the victims of cyberbullying. His communication skills are exceptional, enabling him to share technical information in a way that is accessible to those with limited knowledge of AI. His work is not only academically rigorous but also socially relevant, addressing a pressing issue in today's digital age. Darien's innovative ideas involve using AI techniques on youth-specific platforms to identify and mitigate instances of cyberbullying in real time. As he concludes his undergraduate studies, Darien continues to build bridges between AI and youth conflict resolution. I am excited to see where Darien goes next as a researcher in this field.
