Hello UMW Campus Community: 

On Wednesday, April 18, and Friday, April 20, the Office of Admissions will be holding Destination UMW programs for admitted students.  The latest registration numbers indicate that close to 150 admitted students and about 300 total visitors will join us on campus each of those days!  

The Destination Day schedule includes events and activities for our visitors from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., although we expect our guests to begin arriving on campus earlier in the morning.  Expect to see increased foot traffic on campus and a large amount of visitors in the campus dining facilities.  Our visitors have been instructed to park in the parking garage, but with the amount of people we expect to attend 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 those days.  Please help us in welcoming our visitors to the University of Mary Washington. 

Sincerely, 

The UMW Office of Admissions

• Richard V. and Rosemary A. Hurley Presidential Commendation The intent of this award is to honor Mr. and Mrs. Hurley, who have consistently demonstrated a desire to recognize and reward outstanding service of University employees, and who have led by example in their work at Mary Washington. The benefactors of the award are Elmer and Marceline Weatherly Morris, Class of 1950. Eligibility for this award is open to UMW employees, with preference for administrative/professional faculty members.

• Staff Advisory Council’s Larry Atkins Staff Awards The Staff Advisory Council recognizes UMW employees who are the unsung heroes of our offices. Larry Atkins was one of the first employees to receive the S.A.C. “We Couldn’t Do it Without You Award,” which has since been renamed in his memory. Any administrative faculty, wage, and/or classified employee may be nominated. Three UMW employees will be selected, one from each of the above classifications.
