Congratulations to Michele Neeley, manager of work management services in facilities services, who has been selected as an Excellent Eagle Employee for the month of July. A parking spot of her choosing has been reserved for her until the end of the month.

Here is what one of her co-workers said about her:

“I work with Michele often on van reservations and work requests and she is always friendly, flexible, and extremely helpful. I often travel to Facilities to chat with her face to face about any requests since she is so helpful and I like to see her smiling face. To me, her interactions with co-workers is what makes UMW feel most like a family. Michele’s level of customer service is something all employees should strive for and that is why I believe she deserves the Excellent Eagle Employee.”

To nominate someone who you believe is an Excellent Eagle Employee, send an email to Priscilla Sullivan (psulliva@umw.edu) with Excellent Eagle Employee in the subject line.  In your email, be sure to list the person’s name, department, work location (with the most convenient parking lot), and of course, the reason why you believe they should be recognized.  Please spread the word to other employees about this wonderful opportunity to recognize a co-worker(s).

Please save the date

for the

19th Annual

Leadership Colloquium for Professional Women

Thursday, November 8, 2012

at the

UMW Stafford Campus

The University of Mary Washington Small Business Development Center, in partnership with Rappahannock Community College, hosted the Hewlett Packard Learning Initiative for Entrepreneurs (HP LIFE) Demonstration June 21.

 HP LIFE focuses on business needs at various stages of growth, and with varying degrees of technology experience. The UMW-SBDC will introduce several classes in the HP LIFE curriculum in the next few months. For the latest information, please visit the SBDC website.

The next issue of the EagleEye newsletter will go out on Thursday, July 5, not Thursday, June 28.

We welcome submissions that highlight upcoming events, faculty and staff achievements, notable student and faculty projects and campus announcements of general interest. With more than 800 visitors to the website each week, EagleEye is the perfect place to promote information among the campus community. To submit information, follow the directions at http://umweagleeye.wpengine.com/contribute/ or contact Brynn Boyer or Marty Morrison in the Office of News and Public Information.

The university is looking forward to welcoming 347 of our new students and their families to campus for “FLIGHT SCHOOL” on Friday, June 22. The planning committee has been working hard to create a program that is both informative and fun for our incoming freshmen and transfer students. While we expect most of the guests to park in the Parking Deck, we are aware that parking may be difficult across campus. Please plan accordingly.

We will be hosting a meet and greet with families on the Lee Hall Terrace from 10:30-11:30 a.m. that day. All campus staff is welcome to join us and partake of the refreshments. Please remember to wear your UMW nametag!

UPDATE:
Due to extreme registration numbers, heat and possible thunderstorms the Administrators Meet & Greet has been moved to the Anderson Center Lobby from the same 10:30 to 11:30 time.  We have a FRED bus, golf carts and even a van to transport people from main campus (Lee Hall Loop) to the Anderson Center on a continuous loop.

You can find more information about “Flight School” at www.umw.edu/flightschool. The schedule of events can be reached via the link on that page.  If you have any questions, please email Chris Porter at cjporter@umw.edu.

Thank you for all you do every day to make UMW a place where great minds get to work!

Sincerely,
The UMW “Flight School” Planning Committee
