Governor Announces Three Appointments to UMW Board
George Farrar, Creator of “EagleEye,” Retires from UMW
George Farrar, our Associate Vice President for University Relations and Communications, has retired as of June 30. In his two years with UMW, George helped manage our media relations during challenging times. The press received for UMW’s Freedom Rides celebration garnered more national attention in new and traditional media than any event here of recent memory. He leaves having overseen the shaping of the future UMW brand, the development of the new web site, and the upcoming inauguration. It is important to mention in this space that this EagleEye newsletter was George’s brainchild. George is a good, kind, and ethical man whose leadership will be missed, and professionalism always admired. We’ll miss you, George, and wish you all the best!

Parking Management relocating to Business Services
I am pleased to announce a departmental reorganization effective July 1, 2011. In keeping with a recommendation from the 2009/2010 Task Force on Security and Safety at UMW, the parking management operation will relocate from Public Safety and Community Support Services, into Business Services.
The parking management operation will continue to ensure the safe and efficient use of the parking resources and reduce traffic congestion. Mr. David Sing will continue in his current position as Parking Management Supervisor from his new office located in Lee Hall, Student Services floor. John Adami and Adrienne Byam will continue working in Parking Management. On behalf of UMW, I offer thanks and appreciation to Susan Knick for her leadership in managing the parking operation over the past four years.

President Hurley Delivers Commencement Address in Athens Greece
Rick and Rose Hurley traveled to Greece in June where Rick delivered the commencement address at American Community Schools of Athens www.acs.gr . Fifty-six of the school’s 90 graduates plan to attend U. S. universities in the fall. Four members of the class of 2011 have been accepted at UMW, and two have sent deposits.

The Hurleys became friends with ACS President Stefanos Gialamas and his wife Sophia while both Rick and Stefanos were serving on the Board of Directors of the American Association of University Administrators in 1999. Their professional and personal relationship flourished as both men assumed roles of increasing responsibility. Stefanos will be a featured speaker at the Inauguration Ceremony on September 30.
