Faculty/Staff Dining Room Closed March 26
March 19, 2014 by
The Admissions Office will be using the Faculty/Staff Dining room on Wednesday, March 26 to host a large group of visiting high school guidance counselors. Originally, the counselors were going to join the “regular diners” but the number of visitors will maximize the room’s occupancy. As you know, these are important links in the University’s student recruitment process. The Faculty/Staff Dining Room will be closed that day to UMW faculty and staff. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding and patience. The other three student dining rooms will be open to faculty and staff as usual.
