The president spoke of plans for the funding, the launch of a new strategic vision slated to be revealed this fall, the filling of key administrative roles and \u2013 most importantly \u2013 the importance of welcoming a strong and diverse incoming class.<\/p>\n<p>As the University enters its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/2022\/06\/28\/umw-prioritizes-access-and-affordability-as-key-projects-receive-state-funding\/\">fourth year of steady tuition for in-state undergraduate students<\/a>, Paino listed coming capital improvements, including renovation of Mary Washington\u2019s performing arts complex\u00a0and construction of a new theater meant to boost connections with the Fredericksburg community. Funds also will go toward making buildings across campus accessible and to supporting UMW Museums and the Office of Disability Resources, which accommodates Mary Washington\u2019s significant percentage of students with registered disabilities.<\/p>\n<p>He highlighted a host of senior staff, including Tim O\u2019Donnell who, after months as interim provost, will officially serve as the University\u2019s chief academic officer. Other UMW offices \u2013 including Admissions; Advancement; the Center for Community Engagement; Communications; Diversity, Equity and Inclusion; Emergency Management; Residence Life and Housing; Student Affairs; and Title IX \u2013 have also filled leadership roles.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on an activity-packed summer, Paino praised what was deemed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/2022\/06\/09\/long-awaited-reunion-brought-mary-washington-grads-home\/\">\u201cMother of All Reunions,\u201d<\/a> which welcomed more than 1,300 alumni, including those whose celebrations had been delayed due to the pandemic, back to their alma mater. And he spoke of the weekend\u2019s conclusion, the emotional renaming of the structure that serves as the main campus hub for student life as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/2022\/06\/08\/university-center-naming-celebration-honors-rucker\/\">Cedric Rucker University Center<\/a>, in honor of the longtime dean who recently retired to join the Peace Corps.<\/p>\n<p>Paino touted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/2022\/07\/27\/summer-camp-gives-high-school-students-glimpse-of-college-life\/\">UMW\u2019s Summer Enrichment Program<\/a>, a residential experience introducing high-schoolers to college life. And he lauded a successful Orientation for incoming students that brought new members of the University community \u2013 and lots of energy \u2013 to campus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we head into the fall, we have some things to look forward to,\u201d Paino said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_92971\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-92971\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"92971\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/2022\/08\/17\/umw-presidential-address-ushers-in-the-2022-23-academic-year\/dsc02010_edit\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/08\/DSC02010_edit-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1759\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;ILCE-6500&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1585597216&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;24&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.000625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"DSC02010_edit\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;something&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/08\/DSC02010_edit-300x206.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/08\/DSC02010_edit-1024x703.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-92971 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/08\/DSC02010_edit-300x206.jpg\" alt=\"The Commonwealth made a \u201chistoric investment\u201d in UMW during its recent legislative session.
