The following message is from the Office of University Relations:
While the University is striving to minimize disruptions for the campus community as a result of First Lady Michelle Obama’s visit to the Anderson Center on Thursday, Sept. 13, for a campaign event, there will be certain parking and pedestrian restrictions.
· The Anderson Center parking lot will be closed from midnight Wednesday, Sept. 12, through 8 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 13.
· Parking on the top floor of the Parking Deck at Alvey Drive will be limited to handicapped only from midnight Wednesday, Sept. 12, until 6 p.m. Thursday.
· The Jepson Science Center parking lot will be open for faculty/staff parking all day, but that area will also serve as drop-off location for handicapped event attendees.
· A designated parking area in the Eagle Village lot will be available for use by visitors during the event.
· The Eagle Landing balcony will be closed from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 13.

The following message is from the Office of the President:
I know that this has been a day of solemn reflection for individual members of the UMW community. In honor and remembrance of those who lost their lives and who were affected by the attacks of September 11, 2001, the bells of the Carmen Culpeper Chappell Centennial Campanile will toll at 4 p.m. today. I hope that, as the University of Mary Washington family, we can all pause together for a moment of silence and reflection at that time.
Richard V. Hurley
President
