With the fall 2024 semester underway at the University of Mary Washington, thousands of new and returning students are finding fresh on-campus offerings. From new courses of study and continuous-learning selections to pool renovations and a recently opened coffee shop, students, faculty and staff, as well as members of the Fredericksburg community, will find new opportunities to fill their cups at UMW this year.
And that’s great news for what Dean of Students Melissa Jones calls an “incredibly engaged student body.” Attendance at student events is trending up this year, Jones said, at opening programs like New Student Welcome and Club Carnival. “These students couldn’t be more excited. They are all in!”
