President Hurley receives commendation from General Assembly.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The commendation is an expression of the General Assembly’s admiration for Hurley\u2019s dedication to UMW students and his contributions spanning more than three decades in the field of education.<\/p>\n

Hurley, a native of New Jersey, earned degrees from what is now Stockton University and Central Michigan University. He worked as vice president of administration and finance at Longwood University for 15 years, then joined the University of Mary Washington. Hurley served as chief financial officer, executive vice president and acting president, before becoming president of the university in 2010.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe earned the respect of his peers for his transparency, collaborative leadership style and responsiveness to the needs of students, faculty and staff,\u201d according to the commendation.<\/p>\n

The resolution also commended Hurley for successfully raising $50 million through the Mary Washington First campaign, overseeing the construction of the William W. Anderson Center, the Hurley Convergence Center\u2014renamed in his honor–and the University Center, as well as the opening of the university’s third campus in Dahlgren. Under Hurley’s visionary leadership, according to the resolution, UMW completed Eagle Village, a public\/private development featuring student apartments, a pedestrian bridge over U.S. 1, retail and office space, a parking facility and a hotel.<\/p>\n

\u201cHurley has built strong relationships with Mary Washington students, actively attending student events and even helping new students on move-in day,\u201d according to the commendation. \u201cHe has hosted dinners and ice cream socials for students at his historic home, Brompton; and has dedicated himself to enhancing the quality of life of all Fredericksburg residents.\u201d<\/p>\n

The resolution also noted Hurley’s numerous and varied civic and professional activities, including the formation of the University of Mary Washington Center for Economic Development and the Town and Gown Committee.<\/p>\n

Delegates Howell, Cole, Dudenhefer, Fowler, Massie and Orrock and state Sens. DeSteph, Reeves and Stuart were patrons of the commendation.<\/p>\n

In addition to Hurley, Radford University President Penelope W. Kyle, J.D. was recognized for her service as Radford\u2019s president since 2005. Kyle also will retire June 30.<\/p>\n
