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.

Rick Pearce, VP Administration & Finance

Questions regarding parking management may be addressed to David Sing or to Erma Baker.

He also oversaw the UNESCO efforts to save Hue, Vietnam, which was damaged during the Vietnam War, and he served on the Consultative Committee for the Safeguarding of Borobudur, Indonesia, home of the largest Buddhist monument in the world. An expert in historic architecture, architectural conservation and international preservation, Morton has undertaken preservation work in Jordan, Egypt, Italy, Vietnam, Nepal, Indonesia and throughout the United States, including in his hometown of Waterford, Va.
