BB & T has been selected as the vendor to place a new ATM on campus. We anticipate a start up date of late October. The ATM will be placed in Lee Hall and will carry denominations of $5 and $20. For BB & T accounts there will be no transaction fee, for all others the transaction fee will be $2. Your patience has been appreciated as we work through this project.

The C-SPAN Campaign 2012 Bus rolled into Fredericksburg on Thursday, Sept. 27 and made a stop on UMW’s Fredericksburg campus. The stop was part of a four-day tour to five Virginia universities and colleges to speak to students and community members regarding their thoughts about campaign issues.
When the bus first arrived, Stephen Farnsworth, political science professor and director of the University’s Center for Media and Leadership Studies, was a guest on C-SPAN’s Washington Journal segment. Throughout the morning, students, faculty and staff toured the bus, tested their knowledge of American politics and shared their thoughts about the upcoming election. Short interviews with members of the UMW community are available at http://www.tout.com/u/cspanpolitics and may be used in upcoming C-SPAN programming.

Genevieve Young Hitt, wife of U.S. Army Colonel Parker Hitt, was the first woman to break codes and ciphers for the U.S. government. She first worked on an unpaid basis during Pershing’s Punitive Expedition, and then as a paid government employee at Fort Sam Houston during World War I. Recently discovered letters and government records shed light on this remarkable woman, her brief career and her interesting life.
Betsy Rohaly Smoot is a historian at the National Security Agency’s Center for Cryptologic History. She is a member of the Class of 1982 and majored in Geography and Economics while at Mary Washington.
