We’re excited to introduce merchandise bearing the James Monroe Museum’s new logo (created for us last year by UMW’s wonderful design staff).

These handsome, sturdy canvas tote bags are the perfect size for carrying lunches, books, groceries, school supplies or anything else you might need to carry. At only $14.95, buy several to keep in your car, and one to give to mom for Mother’s Day …

Coming to the shop later this spring: JMM mugs!

The museum shop is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Visit us at 908 Charles Street. UMW faculty and staff receive free admission to the museum.

The Finance Office is pleased to announce that University departments, through Commerce Manager, can now accept online credit card and e-payments for UMW-sponsored events, conferences, workshops and other one-time programs.

Policies and Procedures for handling incoming payments have been updated and posted on the Finance website.

All events must first be approved by the Associate Vice President for Finance and Controller before departments collect any funds.  Departments that currently collect funds are requested to submit updated procedures to Marta Smith to maintain current authorization. Please contact Marta Smith with any questions.  Training will be held in March 2011 for all authorized collection sites.
