Calling all high school juniors and seniors, and all college transfer students! Come explore the University of Mary Washington at Access UMW<\/a>, a diversity-focused open house, on Saturday, Nov. 12.<\/p>\n

\"Bell<\/p>\n

Access UMW<\/a> will include many elements of our traditional open house programs: an academic and student showcase, tours of campus, and an overview of the admissions and financial aid processes. The event will also feature unique aspects like a session titled Diversity and Inclusion in Action at Mary Wash, access to the James Farmer Multicultural Center and a showcase of culturally based student clubs and organizations. Beginning in the University Center, the Open House will take place on the University\u2019s Fredericksburg campus from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. A tentative agenda for the day is available at\u00a0http:\/\/bit.ly\/2f5zhSd<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I toured campus as a high school senior in Fall 2014,” said UMW student Rebecca Goforth. “I had toured six schools by then and none of them felt right. When I got to UMW and had a one-of-a-kind tour, that\u2019s when I knew I was meant to be an Eagle!”<\/p>\n

Online registration will close Friday, Nov. 11, but on-site registrations are warmly welcomed. If you are registering on-site, please arrive by 8:45 a.m. Attendees will receive an email prior to the event with final details.<\/p>\n

A campus map, as well as directions to the UMW Parking Garage (located along Alvey Drive), can be found at https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/visitors<\/a>. Parking is also available in the George Washington Hall parking lot and on Double Drive.<\/p>\n

Visitors will also be encouraged to take part in the #Fall4UMW Instagram photo contest for a chance to win a $50 UMW Bookstore<\/a> gift card. To learn about the rules and to submit a photo, visit UMW\u2019s Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n
