“Gari Melchers’ Works on Paper:  Highlights from the Collection”

The subject matter is wide-ranging and includes everything from portraits and landscapes to figurative interiors.

Gari Melchers Home and Studio is open everyday, except Wednesdays, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Free to the UMW community.

All full-time teaching and administrative faculty can have portrait photos taken on Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept 21-22 in GW Hall.

The Office of News and Public Information has arranged for a professional photographer to be at UMW on Sept. 21 and 22 to take head-and-shoulders photos of full-time teaching and administrative faculty members for use in University publications, websites and the news media, and for faculty use.

All new faculty members and any faculty with no professional photo on file are encouraged to sit for a photo. Also, faculty members wishing to update current photos are welcome to make an appointment. View current photos on the Meet the Faculty website at www.umw.edu/faculty. There is no cost to staff for this service.

The photo sessions are scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 21 and Wednesday, Sept. 22 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in George Washington Hall’s Dodd Foyer.

The photography should take five to 10 minutes. This is the only occasion when the photographer, Joe Parker, is scheduled to be at UMW during the 2010-11 academic year.

Please email two or three preferred times to Christie Pugh at cpugh@umw.edu or call 654-1055 at your earliest convenience to schedule an appointment.
