Admissions open house this Friday

The following message is from the Office of Admissions.

To the UMW Community:

On Friday, April 19, 2019, the University of Mary Washington will host its UMW Admissions Open House. About 300 prospective students (typically transfers and high school seniors, juniors, and sophomores) and their families will visit campus between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. The estimated guest count is over 900 visitors.

A sample agenda is posted here. Visitor parking has been reserved in parking deck level 4 off of Route 1, along College Avenue, general visitor parking spaces on Double Drive, and Admissions visitor parking spaces 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.

We encourage you to show your support and tweet to @MaryWash. We would like to see #UMWOpenHouse trending throughout the day. If you’d like to be involved in Open Houses or have ideas, please contact Admissions at 540-654-2000 or email admit@umw.edu.

Thank you for your partnership in showcasing all that is great about UMW!
