On Monday, February 20, 2017, University of Mary Washington will host an Admissions Open House. Approximately 275 prospective students (typically high school seniors, juniors, and sophomores, as well as transfers) and their families will visit and tour campus between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. The estimated guest count is 750 visitors.
A sample agenda is posted here. Visitor parking has been reserved in the parking deck off of Route 1 and on Double Drive. Primary event locations are the Anderson Center, Lee Hall, the Hurley Convergence Center, the University Center, and campus/residence hall tours in Mason. Expect to see increased foot traffic on campus and curious newcomers at the Top of the University Center (fourth floor), especially between noon and 2 p.m.
While the Office of Admissions sponsors these events, the entire campus assumes the role of host. Our visitors frequently comment on how “friendly, helpful, and engaging” our UMW community is! Visitors shared the following about what they enjoyed the most during their recent visits to campus:
