Robert Tinnell: The Campus head lockmsith does more than just locks. Whenever he is called on to do side jobs in our office, he always comes through.

He is more than a team player. ~Janice White

Barbara Mussey: Barbara was promoted to a new full time position this year.

Centre Court Employees: The epitome of teamwork: The Business and Finance, Internal Audit, Information Resources, Purchasing, Admissions and University Relations departments were uprooted and moved off campus a little over a year ago. The groups have worked well together in adjusting to their new 'digs' and developing new and better working relationships. Thanks in no small part go to the myriad service departments throughout UMW that have assisted in the transition. It's true what they say, the best part about working at UMW is the people. And at Centre Court, we have awesome people AND parking! ~A happy and well-adjusted Centre Court employee
