- set a positive example for other UMW employees
S.A.C. chooses 3 winners – 1 wage employee, 1 classified employee, and 1 administrative faculty employee. All UMW employees are eligible to nominate and to be nominated for one of the three awards.
All nominations must be received by 5pm Monday, September 12th. Winners will be announced by S.A.C. at the Fall Employee gathering, and winners will receive $100.

SAC SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE
The UMW Staff Advisory Council partnered with the Spotsylvania County School District and the Courthouse Academy for Special Needs for this year’s Back to School Supply Drive to support kids in need. School Supply Drives help provide supplies that students need in order to succeed in school. These supplies go a long way for kids who need them the most. The SAC will be collecting school supply donations until Sept. 2.
