    The Sustainable Campus
    Sustainability is difficult. For individuals, it means changing habits that affect the way you live, work, and relax. For institutions like Mary Washington, it means assessment of environmental issues that affect our campus and the wider community. It means reaching out to students to create a culture of environmental awareness, and having a dedicated, hard working group of administrators, faculty, staff, and students working on projects to see this through. Most of all it means creating connections to the world around you, and understanding your place in it. At Mary Washington, we are striving for these ideals.

  • Advantages / Disadvantages of Using UMW-Secured or Guest Wireless Networks

    September 29, 2011

    UMW-Secured:

    The UMW-Secured wireless network is a secure wireless network.
    The Secured connection will have fewer restrictions about the sites that you can visits than the Guest connection;  for example , the Guest connection will not allow access to some sites, such as HTTPS websites.
    The secured connection does require the user to have Cisco Clean Access Agent installed on their machine (if it is a Windows machine), as well as having their operating system (Windows/Mac/Linux) up to date. Users also need Virus detection/removal software that is up to date.  This means that the user’s computer is up-to-date and patched, and less

    September 12, 2011

    While there is no set program of study to transfer into the BA/BS degree program at UMW, we do have a few recommended courses. Completing these courses will not guarantee you admission to the University. Furthermore, the courses we mention are not required for admission. Yet, if taken, they satisfy several UMW BA/BS degree requirements and prepare you for UMW’s demanding program of study.
    1. Take a college composition or writing course.
    This course helps develop the writing skills necessary to be successful with UMW’s writing intensive program of study. It also completes Goal 1 of the General Education Program.

    The Program in American Studies
    The American Studies Program allows students to explore the complex interactions of peoples, cultures, social structures, and political institutions that have shaped the experiences of peoples living in the United States in an interdisciplinary fashion. What makes American Studies unique is that students are required to explore a particular line of inquiry of their choosing that transcends disciplinary boundaries. These five thematically linked courses can come from any of the affiliated disciplines, including Anthropology, Art History, Communication, Economics, English, Geography, Historic Preservation, History, Interdisciplinary Studies, Linguistics, Music, Politics, Religion, Sociology, Spanish, and Women and Gender

    September 25, 2011

    6.1 ANNUAL EVALUATION PRINCIPLES FOR FULL-TIME INSTRUCTIONAL FACULTY    
    Annual evaluation of faculty has been mandated by the Board of Visitors. The evaluation system is required to be multi-sourced, to include peer review (unless this step is not part of the department’s process), and to place each faculty member on an evaluation level between 0 and 3.

    0 = unsatisfactory; failure to meet minimum performance expectations.

    1 = faculty performance which meets expectations or less than one year for evaluation.  When used in cases other than a faculty member who is in her/his first year at UMW, this rating implies that the

    Archiving is the process used to remove older items from your active Outlook folders and preserve them in separate folders for later referencing.  There are a number of advantages to archiving Outlook items.  Recent items are more readily accessible by removing the older and seldom-used items; users can better manage their allotted mail quotas; and, depending upon the archive location, file storage can be reduced or reallocated.

    Several types of archiving are available in Outlook 2007:  automatic archiving (AutoArchive), manual archiving, and a combination of the two.

    The AutoArchive feature performs an automatic archive of Outlook folder contents based upon user-defined
