Twenty-three students in UMW’s Summer Science Institute presented 
their work at an all-day symposium Wednesday, July 21 at the Jepson Science Center. Oral presentations and posters were presented from six disciplines: biology, chemistry, environmental science, physics, mathematics and computer science. Topics ranged from the mathematical analysis of option pricing and iPhone game development for elementary school students to the study of environmental impacts of trace metal accumulation and gene expression. Students also gave poster presentations with such topics as the study of acousto-optical modulation, cloning of a human gene promoter, novel chemical reactions and analysis of the environmental evolution of two lakes in Virginia.
The summer institute, co-directed by Chemistry Professor Raymond Scott and Mathematics 
Professor Deborah Hydorn, is a 10-week program which allows both students and faculty to devote themselves to full time to their research efforts. Results are frequently shared at professional meetings across the country.
On July 18, 2011, the University received three gifts totaling more than $42,000 from the estate of the late Anne F. Hamer. For decades, Mrs. Hamer was involved with music around Mary Washington and in the Fredericksburg community. She was an associate professor of music and a chair of the music department. She played with the Mary Washington College – Community Orchestra, performed at local historical events, and often played at weddings. She also was proud to be a member of the UMW Heritage Society. Her planned gifts now will help support the Anne and Sidney Hamer Music Award, the Fund for Mary Washington, and the Department of Music.
Hal Hamer said his mother was an active planner and was very specific in her estate planning efforts. Shortly before her death in 2008, she told the family, “Life has been very good to me, and I hope that I have been very good to life.”
