Provost Search Update
Dear UMW Faculty, Staff, and Students,
I am once again writing to inform the UMW community of our progress in the provost search. The search committee has completed its first-round interviews. We were fortunate to have an outstanding group of candidates interested in our provost position. At this point, our search consultants from Witt/Kieffer are conducting detailed reference checks on those individuals who are moving forward in the process.
We will be inviting as many as four finalists to UMW for visits during the latter part of February. One important facet of these visits will be open forums in Dodd Auditorium where the candidates will deliver brief presentations and answer questions. Sessions are scheduled from 4:00-5:00 p.m. in Dodd on the following dates:
Thursday, February 21
Friday, February 22
Monday, February 25
Tuesday, February 26
If possible, please reserve these dates and times on your calendar and make plans to attend the open forums. A survey is being prepared so that the search committee may gather your feedback and opinions regarding the candidates.
As we get closer to these dates, we will announce the names of the finalist candidates who will be visiting and will provide access to information about them.
Thank you for your interest in the selection process for the next academic leader for the University of Mary Washington.
Sincerely,
Richard V. Hurley
President
Notice to the Campus Community
The following notice is from University Police:
The alleged perpetrator of three recent campus break-ins has been apprehended and arrested.
Late last night, a student observed a break-in occurring in Pollard Hall. The student immediately called University Police. Based on the description provided, an alert was sent out to all area jurisdictions. The City of Fredericksburg Police located the suspect and detained him until University Police arrived to identify and arrest him. Subsequently, based on information obtained during the arrest, University Police and State Police executed a search warrant on the suspect’s residence in the City of Fredericksburg.
The accused, Evan Williams, is not a student. University Police charged him with one count of breaking and entering. Upon further investigation, evidence indicated that the same individual was involved in previous recent break-ins at duPont and Virginia halls. Additional charges are pending as the investigation continues.
Key to resolution of these crimes was the quick and decisive action by a student in providing information.
As a reminder to the University community, the Police Communications Center at Brent House is staffed around the clock. Anyone observing suspicious activity or unsafe conditions should call University Police immediately at 540/654-1025; alternately, dial 4444 from any University phone or go to any exterior blue light station and press the call button. Additionally, anonymous tips or information may be reported to University Police via the Silent Witness web link. Also, for the safety of students, the Police Communications Center provides after-hour safety escorts.
