Last spring, when the University of Mary Washington suddenly switched to remote learning, students found themselves in new territory, especially rising seniors. Nevertheless, they didn’t let the global pandemic stop them.

Here, in part one of a two-story series, several 2021 graduates – Beth Kelly, John Asmus, Margaret Gregory and Breonna Washington – share their achievements and future plans, as well as how Mary Washington has prepared them for life after college. Check the UMW website on Friday for the second installment. Read more.
