Krasnow's Effect on Campus
This website contains information about the amount of students that have attended Mason that were pursuing a degree level [of any type] in Neuroscience over the years. This information contains distinction between gender, ethnicity, level, domicile, load, and status. This information can help determinie how often the Krasnow Institute was utitlized by students, how Krasnow was able to impact a certain percentage of students year by year, along with which type of students were most impacted. Information on the year the Neuroscience program was started at GMU is unknown; however, this website dates back to the Fall of 2004. The functionality of the Krasnow Institute for Advanced Study officially opened in 1994 meaning there are a few years that are empty from Neuroscience activity. The building itself was not allowed to be officially used until 1997.

This information allows readers to understand the bigger picture of research. Not only that research is always occurring, but that research and science is always changing. This further displays the need the Krasnow Institute had for an increase in science-based instruments for the students to be able to work adequately. This also aids in further displaying Shelley Krasnow's effect that he had on the students of not only George Mason University but of the world. This lists people of the world who came to George Mason University to speak to students and staff about research that is going on. Some of these topics are not highly knowledgable topics meaning that the research that was done may have been new or may have contributed to the further exploration of science.
In conclusion, Shelley Krasnow has led a multitude of students to success just by allowing them to have an open space to learn about their interests and others and become connected with the world and what it has to offer. Shelley's dream to bring students of different fields together to learn together wasn't fully met [11]. However, it can be concluded that either something is missing or Krasnow/GMU's improvements weren't enough to make the intended impact. Many historians on this topic were likely unable to reach Krasnow himself, so most of the information is from people who interacted with him. They interpreted this information by collecting the information and making it into a historical research document. Most of the primary sources were photos. However, the ones that were documents were helpful as well because in totality, they aided in grasping a better understanding of the type of environment Shelley lived in back then.
