UMW Faculty and Staff Colleagues:

After 22 months, I will be saying good-bye on Monday June 30. It is a bittersweet moment for me personally. I have enjoyed my time in this interim position for so many reasons – the University and the academic programs are top notch, everyone has supported the many changes and enhancements to the Admissions and Financial Aid Operations, the students are some of the brightest and most thoughtful young people I’ve ever worked with, and I love Fredericksburg! However, I must say that I will appreciate being back home in Pittsburgh with my husband, family and friends – and back in my home. If you are ever in my area, please know that my door is always open!

Thank you, and I wish you and UMW all the best for a bright future.

Carol Descak

Interim Associate Provost for Admissions and Financial Aid

In recognition of everyone’s hard work in presenting another successful New Student Orientation Program, there will be a University-wide mixer on Friday, June 27, from 5 to 7 p.m. at Home Team Grill in the outdoor patio and bar areas. As a special treat, Keith Mellinger will be on hand toward the end of the mixer to offer a preview of his musical performance scheduled for later that evening at Home Team Grill.

This occasion is being sponsored by the Office of the President, the Staff Advisory Council, and the Student Affairs Division. We hope to see you there!

Note: Please be sensitive to other merchants and plan to park in the main Eagle Village parking lot near Giant.
