A message from the Director of Athletics, Ken Tyler:
The Eagle Club Golf Tournament is an opportunity to celebrate and support the University of Mary Washington’s tradition of athletic excellence. Whether you’re a scratch golfer, a weekend hacker, or you’ve never picked up a club, your support of this event will make an immediate impact on the success of our student athletes and the quality of our athletic programs. Our goal is to have all athletic programs across all eras represented. The event is more than just an opportunity to get together. We want you to reconnect with old teammates, visit old friends and make new ones, and meet the staff. But we do this with purpose: the golfing will be great, but we gather to support UMW student athletes.
We have a great tradition and great pride because of many present and past who have supported those who wear the navy and gray. Let’s keep it going. I look forward to seeing you show your commitment at the 3rd Annual Eagle Club Golf Tournament. Thank you!

Safe Zone Workshops
The Safe Zone program offers workshops that are designed to educate members of the University community about lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer (LGBTQ+) issues to increase the safety and inclusion of all its members.
Safe Zone consists of people who will:
- Be understanding, supportive, and trustworthy if LGBTQ+ individuals need help, advice or just someone to talk to.
- Not tolerate homophobic and heterosexist comments and actions and will address them in an educational and informative manner.
- Have received training and can provide information regarding on- or off-campus resources.
We offer two types of Safe Zone workshops for faculty and staff. The Basic training focuses on terminology, issues related to privilege, increasing awareness and sensitivity, and how to support the LGBTQ+ population on campus. The Advanced training is for faculty and staff who have already completed the Basic training and covers more advanced topics, including bystander intervention.
We are currently accepting enrollment for a Basic training session for any interested faculty or staff member on Friday, Aug. 18, from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. We are offering an Advanced training on Thursday, Aug. 24 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Registration is required and space is limited. Please email Laura Wilson at lwilson5@umw.edu to register for the training or if you have questions.
Stafford Campus Fitness Room
All UMW faculty, staff and spouses are permitted to use the Stafford Campus Staff & Faculty Fitness Room. The Fitness Room is located in Room 107 of the South Building of the Stafford Campus and contains a treadmill, two elliptical machines, a small dumbbell set, jump ropes, weight bands, and a step platform. The Fitness Room provides faculty and staff who work predominantly at the Stafford Campus an easier opportunity to access state of the art exercise equipment free of charge and supports the university’s goal of providing the campus community with “opportunities to adopt healthy and well-balanced lifestyles through programming and resources and to foster an environment in which the university community can grow in their overall health and wellness.” Hours of operation coincide with the building hours for the Stafford Campus. To gain access and be eligible to use the fitness room, all individuals must first sign a liability waiver. To obtain the liability waiver, please contact Kevin Caffrey at 540-286-8008 or via email at kcaffrey@umw.edu.
The idea for a fitness room at the Stafford Campus originated in a Staff Advisory Council meeting several years ago, serving as a great reminder of the advantage of having a Staff Advisory Council that “provides an avenue for employee input and feedback and a means of participating in the design, development, and implementation of University programs, projects, and services.” Meetings of the Council are open to employees, students, and the public. For more information on the Staff Advisory Council, go to: http://sac.umwblogs.org/.

Bicycle Round-up Begins on Campus
Next week after the end of summer session 2017, there will be a campaign that will affect all bicycles on campus.
There are three goals of this campaign. They are as follows:
- Improve the UMW campus visual appearance by the removing of all abandoned and/or trashed bikes.
- Reduce the opportunity for the larceny of bikes from the UMW campus.
- Support and strengthen the UMW policy that all bicycles on campus must be registered with UMW Police Department.
To support these goals, the following will be accomplished after the end of the summer session:
- All non-registered bicycles on campus will be removed and placed in Police Storage. If the bicycle is not claimed and registered within 90 days, it will be turned over to Central Stores for disposal in accordance with state regulations.
- All bicycles registered with UMW Police Department, but not secured with a lock, will be placed in Police Storage. Attempts to contact the registered owners will be made via email and/or phone.
- The owners of all bicycles registered with UMW Police Department and secured with a lock will be contacted via email. The owners will be asked to select if the bike will be used in the fall semester, removed from campus within 90 days, or is available to be donated to charity.
If you have a registered bicycle you will be using on campus between the end of the summer session and the start of the fall semester, please come to UMW Police Department at Brent House. An identifying marker will be provided that can be placed on your bicycle. If you cannot come to Brent House, please contact Sgt. Gagliardi at jgagliar@umw.edu. With your name and bicycle location, a marker will be placed on your secured and registered bike for you.
If you have any questions about the bicycle roundup or bike registration, please contact Sgt. Gagliardi. Stay tuned for more services provided to improve your UMW life and bicycle security on campus.
