The BREAK-A-LEG award goes to Susan Worrell, Vicky Wilder and Doug Noble and his merry band of Dodd staff and students for their work planning and directing the third Dancing with the Fredericksburg Stars event! Last Saturday night’s performance and reception were outstanding in all respects. In case not everyone knows, the proceeds of these performances are funding UMW Theatre and Arts scholarships for students.

The Virginia Association of Governmental Purchasing (VAGP) and Virginia Association of College and University Purchasing Professionals (VASCUPP), co-sponsored the Supplier Diversity Advocate Institute (SDAI), held on August 7, at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Va. The day provided attendees with knowledgeable speakers, informative training sessions and networking opportunities.
Opening remarks were given by Erma Baker, Assistant VP for Business Services and Chief Procurement Officer (UMW), the Honorable Mary Katherine Greenlaw, Mayor of Fredericksburg, and Tracey Jeter, Virginia Small Business and Supplier Diversity Director, and were followed by training sessions, which included topics such as Engaging SWaM Vendors in Contracts and Promoting the Use of Diverse Professional Services Businesses and Suppliers.
UMW received great feedback on the value of the event, the beauty of the campus, and the unique design and technological capabilities of the ITCC!
