A Newsletter for UMW Faculty and Staff
UMW President Troy D. Paino
President Troy D. Paino discussed a range of topics during Biz Beat Banter (episode 4) with Bill Freeling of the Fredericksburg Free Press. The 45-minute conversation covered such topics as what drew President Paino from a career in law to one in higher education, what attracted him to Fredericksburg and UMW, what goals he has for the University, and what it’s like to be a University president. Listen to the episode.
To the University Community:
UMW’s governing body, the Board of Visitors, met last Thursday and Friday. In addition to hearing updates from the University Faculty Council President Marcel Rotter, Student Government Association President Sarah Karwowski, and Honor Council President Joshua Hunt, board members set the agenda for their meetings this year, heard reports on a variety of topics, and passed several resolutions. Of particular importance, the Board authorized funding for the renovation of Willard Hall (to be completed by Fall 2019), signed off on the Master of Science in Nursing degree program (to start in Spring 2019), approved the creation of six scholarship or endowments, and affirmed my priorities for the academic year.
