The attempt to break the current record of 432 pairs of high-fives will be open to both the university community and the community at large. The event will take place in the William M. Anderson Center on the Fredericksburg campus at 4 p.m., with doors opening at 2 p.m. Registration, which is free but required, will begin on Monday, March 7. Due to building capacity, UMW will accept 3,000 registrants, and the first 2,500 participants to arrive at the event will be included in the official attempt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m humbled by this honor\u2026a chance to make history,\u201d said President Hurley, who will retire in June after serving nearly six years as president. \u201cWhat a high on which to leave UMW!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Throughout his tenure, the institution\u2019s ninth president has become known for high-fiving students as he passes them on Campus Walk. More recently, he\u2019s given graduating seniors a \u201ccode word\u201d that signals a request for a high-five instead of a handshake as they cross the Ball Circle stage at Commencement.<\/p>\n<p>Senior Hannah Tibbett, student government association president, said Hurley\u2019s signature gesture speaks to his warm and inviting personality. She added, \u201cStudents are excited about paying tribute to Hurley and his high-fives through the Guinness World Records attempt, while also engaging the UMW campus and the Fredericksburg community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.guinnessworldrecords.com\/world-records\/378403-most-people-performing-a-jumping-high-five-simultanously\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">current record<\/a> for most people performing a jumping high-five simultaneously was achieved last June in London during\u00a0a celebration of National Women in Engineering Day. A simultaneous jumping high-five pairs two participants, who take a little leap while slapping palms together.
