Engineering battle bots. Launching startups. Building domains. Re-designing the clothes hanger. Imagining a different way to end poverty – and creating an international conversation about it.<\/p>

<\/p>

All of the above? UMW-made.<\/p>

Known as the place where “great minds get to work,” UMW employs, enrolls, and produces movers, shakers, and change-makers. Getting to work is what we do – producing, creating, leading, influencing, and building – in communities around the world.<\/p>

And not by chance. From the moment you step on campus, you’re immersed in a high-impact learning environment that takes you beyond the classroom. You’re surrounded by faculty who advise, research and offer opportunities for real-world experiences. You become part of an infrastructure designed for innovation – think Domain of One’s Own, the UMW ThinkLab, and the James Farmer Multicultural Center, just to get started.<\/p>

“I’ve worked at a lot of institutions of higher education, and they all talk about ‘creation’ but UMW is unique insofar as they also walk the walk.” – Lee Skallerup Bessette, Instructional Technology Specialist<\/p><\/blockquote>

Along with students, professor Shawn Humphrey created not one but three social impact organizations, including the Two Dollar Challenge<\/a>, and wrote the manifesto<\/a> that is leading today’s conversation in the global poverty landscape. Senior Morgan Wellman<\/a> became co-owner of Ladyburg, a natural bath and body works company, in her second year of college. Historic preservation students, alongside geology professor Stephen Hanna<\/a>, have spent three years conducting groundbreaking research on the slavery narratives of plantations in the south.<\/p>

And the UMW-made story keeps going. Abbas Haider ’12 and Robert Davis ’12<\/a> started America’s first bulletproof clothing line as students and were recently named to Forbes’ 30 Under 30<\/a>. Heather Mullins Crislip ’95<\/a>, CEO of the Richmond-based HOME, is on a civil rights mission focused on fair housing. Ken Fulk ’87<\/a> is a world-renowned design mastermind who is sought out by celebrities and has a Pottery Barn line.<\/p>

These are just a few of the powerful stories spilling out of our classrooms. And now it’s your turn to tell the story.<\/p>

Get to work, UMW! Tell us what UMW has helped you make or how UMW has helped make you who you are today.<\/h2>
