The Center for International Education is happy to announce the installation of a new wayfarer’s sign on Campus Walk in front of Lee Hall. The sign provides distances from UMW to various global cities, many of which are popular study abroad destinations. It’s part of the Center’s “You Can Get There from Here” campaign, designed to raise awareness about education abroad opportunities and contribute to the internationalization of our campus.
Several of University of Mary Washington’s digital initiatives, including ds106, the newly minted Digital Studies Minor, and Domain of One’s Own, were featured in an article this past Monday in the Free Lance-Star titled “UMW Gives Credit to the Digital World.” The article celebrates the brave new digital world emerging at UMW, driven by a legacy of projects in the digital arena that’s been happening at UMW for almost a decade. It is truly encouraging to see the UMW community recognized locally for its pioneering work in the digital arena.
