Parking Management relocating to Business Services

I am pleased to announce a departmental reorganization effective July 1, 2011.   In keeping with a recommendation from the 2009/2010 Task Force on Security and Safety at UMW, the parking management operation will relocate from Public Safety and Community Support Services, into Business Services. 

 The parking management operation will continue to ensure the safe and efficient use of the parking resources and reduce traffic congestion.  Mr. David Sing will continue in his current position as Parking Management Supervisor from his new office located in Lee Hall, Student Services floor.  John Adami and Adrienne Byam will continue working in Parking Management. On behalf of UMW, I offer thanks and appreciation to Susan Knick for her leadership in managing the parking operation over the past four years.

Rick Pearce, VP Administration & Finance

Questions regarding parking management may be addressed to David Sing or to Erma Baker.
