Dear UMW Community,
What a terrific semester we have had! We have accomplished so much together in our classrooms, studios and labs and on the stages, courts, tracks, fields and pools, cheering each other on and supporting one another, both on campus and beyond. I appreciate each of you, and the ongoing support of our friends, families, and alumni who have most recently contributed to our campus community during Giving Tuesday. And although winter break is just around the corner, some of our student-athletes, interns, faculty, staff, etc. will remain in Fredericksburg continuing to represent UMW. Best of luck to each of them throughout the coming weeks.
Finally, I wish each of you, faculty, staff, and students alike, great success with final exams, research projects and papers, grading, and all other remaining work required to close out the semester.
Enjoy the winter break and I look forward to welcoming you back to campus in January.
Troy Paino
