The following message is from the Office of Admissions:  

On Friday, April 5, 2013, the University of Mary Washington will host the final Discovery Day of the 2012-2013 academic year.  Anticipate welcoming 250 prospects (juniors, seniors, and transfers) and their families to campus for an exploratory.     

The Discovery Day schedule includes events from 9 a.m. until about 3 p.m. in the Anderson Center, Lee Hall, Dodd Auditorium, and all around campus for tours. Expect to see increased foot traffic and curious newcomers in the dining facilities.  Help them know their presence is a pleasure by anticipating the crowds and responding warmly.  Visitor parking has been reserved in the parking deck off of Route 1. 

While the Office of Admissions sponsors these events, the entire campus should assume the role of host.  Please extend every courtesy and generous hospitality to these visitors.  Their impression and decision to attend UMW depends on how they feel while they are here, so thank you for your commitment to perpetuating our brand, our mission, and our sense of the UMW family.

The following message is from the Counseling and Psychological Services Center: 

Dear UMW Faculty and Staff, 

The University of Mary Washington and Counseling and Psychological Services will observe National Sexual Assault Awareness Month this April to educate the UMW community about the impact of interpersonal violence and sexual abuse. Counseling and Psychological Services is partnering with several community agencies to support survivors of sexual assault. We would like faculty to get involved in several ways: 

1. Please share with your students and encourage them to attend on Wednesday, April 3, at 6p.m. in Goolrick Main Gymnasium a presentation of the “Where’s the Line?” campaign. At the event students, faculty, and the community will assemble care kits for sexual assault victims to be distributed to local hospitals, RCASA and Safe Harbor. We are encouraging all students to attend.
2. We encourage faculty and staff to join us for the event to help assemble over 300 kits and show your support for UMW students and our community.

If you would like further information about events happening in April, please visit the CAPS website at:

Hello UMW Campus Community: 

On Thursday, April 4, 2013, the Office of Academic & Career Services and the Office of Graduate Admissions will be holding a Graduate School Fair for UMW students and the surrounding community at the Anderson Center. The latest registration numbers indicate that over 50 different colleges, universities, and professional schools will be represented. 

The fair is scheduled from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., although we expect college representatives to begin arriving around 10 a.m. for set-up and registration. While the event will be contained to the Anderson Center, you can expect to see increased foot traffic on campus. Our visitors have been instructed to park in the parking garage, but with the amount of people we expect to attend from the community, they will most likely need to seek other parking options throughout campus and on neighboring side streets. 

Hopefully this information will allow you to plan accordingly for Thursday. Please feel free to help us in welcoming our visitors to the University of Mary Washington, and we hope you will stop by the Anderson Center to visit our Graduate School Fair. 

Sincerely,

The Office of Academic & Career Services

The Office of Graduate Admission
