Mason Out Loud

This week, GMU graduate student Jett Utah Watson reads his short story, "The Admiral," exploring questions of identity, family, the stories we choose to tell-- and the ones we choose to keep. Born in Amarillo, Texas, Jett Watson is a 2016 graduate of the United States Naval Academy and currently commissioned as an ensign in the Navy. After finishing his undergraduate coursework a semester early, he came to George Mason University to study English Literature at the graduate level. Upon degree completion in December, he'll be joining the Littoral Combat Ship Crew 201 in San Diego, California as a surface warfare officer.
