Ready for UMW

As more than 1,200 new students prepared to join the University of Mary Washington family in August 2012, we wondered: how are they getting ready to be Eagles? With enthusiasm and creativity, they used social media to show us. Compiled by the Office of News and Public Information at UMW

  1. Some students started the summer with a trip to campus.
  2. See you in 21 days #umw #home
