University Advancement announces new Campaign gifts and pledge commitments:

• An alumna from the Class of 1966 has committed $250,000 to support a professional symposium for the nursing program in the College of Arts and Sciences.
• An alumna from the Class of 1968 made a $25,000 gift to support the LearnerSpace project in the College of Education.
• An alumna from the Class of 1948 sent in a $300 check for the Fund for Mary Washington in response to a student phonathon caller. A consistent donor since 1981, this alumna included a note that read, “At age 88, I’m still grateful for my MWC education.”
