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

Dear UMW Faculty, Staff, and Students,

The Strategic Resource Allocation Study, of which you have heard much in my prior messages, is kicking off in earnest next week. The Academic Task Force and the Support Task Force will be meeting with Larry Goldstein, President and CEO of Campus Strategies, beginning on Sunday, March 24 and continuing through Tuesday, March 26. During those sessions, the task forces will meet privately to make key decisions regarding their upcoming work on the UMW study.

On Wednesday, March 27, Mr. Goldstein will hold two open information sessions for interested members of the UMW community. All faculty, staff, and students are invited to attend one of these sessions to learn more about the Strategic Resource Allocation Study and to have any questions answered.

The first session will begin at 12:00 noon in Lee Hall, room 411, on the Fredericksburg campus. The second session will begin at 3:00 p.m. in University Hall on the Stafford campus. Each session is expected to last an hour or so.

Thank you for your interest in this process.

Richard V. Hurley

President
