The University of Mary Washington honored two graduates, Sally Burkley<\/strong> and Vanessa Fickes<\/strong> with the Colgate W. Darden Jr. Award for earning the highest grade-point average (GPA) in the undergraduate program. The awards were among the top honors presented at the University\u2019s 111th Commencement ceremony, held on Ball Circle on Saturday, May 7.<\/p>\n

In addition, Associate Professor of Historic Preservation Christine Henry<\/strong> was recognized with the Mary W. Pinschmidt Award, for having had the greatest impact on the lives of the members of the Class of 2022.<\/p>\n

Burkley and Fickes both finished their college careers with a perfect 4.0 GPA, graduating summa cum laude, the highest academic distinction. Both members of UMW\u2019s Honors Program, they have also been inducted in Phi Beta Kappa, the nation\u2019s oldest and most prestigious academic honor society.<\/p>\n

Burkley, who is from Virginia, double majored in political science and communication and digital studies, earning honors in both disciplines. A computer science minor, she wrote a significant study on the politics of Twitter that one of her research mentors described as \u201cevery bit as good as the best work being produced by the nation\u2019s leading professional scholars.\u201d<\/p>\n

Professor of Political Science Stephen Farnsworth, who heads UMW\u2019s Center for Leadership and Media Studies and co-authored several works with Burkley, said: \u201cShe was fully prepared for every conversation, every presentation, every paper, every exam, a true rarity among students \u2013 and a joy for a professor.\u201d<\/p>\n

A student-athlete who led the UMW women\u2019s swim team to a conference championship, Burkley was also recognized as this year\u2019s Outstanding Major in Communication and Digital Studies. Her advisor, Assistant Professor Emily Crosby, called Burkley\u2019s academic curiosity \u201ccontagious.\u201d<\/p>\n

Burkley completed multiple internships in Washington, D.C., while at UMW, including one as a legislative affairs intern with the Federal Communications Commission. She plans to attend William & Mary Law School next year.<\/p>\n

Fickes, who is from Pennsylvania, majored in English. Professor and Chair Gary Richards described her as \u201ca model of careful, thorough scholarship that navigates sensitive material with brilliant deftness.\u201d He advised Fickes for her capstone project, “Christian Imagery in the Short Stories of Flannery O\u2019Connor,” which earned her departmental honors.<\/p>\n

Another advisor described Fickes \u2013 who delivered a pair of presentations on Shakespeare at the English department\u2019s Kemp Symposium last month \u2013 as \u201cmeticulous and curious, with a high ethical integrity and an unusually strong sense of self.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fickes, who served as president for UMW\u2019s Student Education Association and as a RISE peer mentor during her time at Mary Washington, plans to pursue a master\u2019s degree in UMW\u2019s College of Education next year before beginning a career as a high school teacher.<\/p>\n

Henry, who began teaching at UMW in 2015, received the Mary W. Pinschmidt Award, named for a former biology professor who passed away in 1998. The only faculty award selected specifically by the graduating class, the honor is given to a professor who embodies Pinschmidt\u2019s enthusiasm for teaching and connection with Mary Washington students.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year\u2019s recipient has tremendously impacted their students,\u201d Hannah Iezzi ’22 said of Henry during today\u2019s ceremony. \u201cShe is always willing to work with any student for any reason and is always the first person to check on her students.\u201d<\/p>\n

Described as outgoing, energetic and passionate, Henry has earned a reputation for demonstrating compassion, and for supporting students through their academic experiences, as well as their personal struggles.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know I\u2019m not the only one who has seen her kindness,\u201d one student said of Henry, while another shared, \u201cHer class helped shape me for my future career.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
