The following message is from the Office of Residence Life:

Summer is almost over and the time of year is upon us – our students are coming back to campus!

We’ve provided the full schedule for on-campus student move-in at:  http://students.umw.edu/residencelife/movein.  Students are already beginning to arrive early for special programs, athletics, trainings, and other important matters.  Orientation Session 7 will take place on Thursday, August 22.  All other new students arrive the following day.

We invite the campus community to help welcome our students to UMW on Friday, August 23, from 8 a.m. to noon.  Families will be assisting students to move into the residence halls and gear up for the new academic year.  Please feel free to stop by the residence halls on Friday morning to show your support.

Thank you for helping the University welcome its new and returning students to their “home away from home!”  If you have any questions, please contact Matt Troutman at mtroutma@umw.edu

The following message is from the Academic Task Force: 

The Academic Task Force has compiled a list of programs to be evaluated as a part of the Strategic Reallocation process. Please go to http://taskforce.umw.edu  at the Academic Programs tab to find the Programs List. We would like you to examine the list, checking to see if any programs should be added or eliminated and ensuring that the proper person is listed as the responsible party is for each program.

Please use the website to provide your feedback.  Comments will be accepted until Friday, August 23, 2013.
