President's Impact Fund
Support the President's Impact Fund on #MaryWashDay!

President Troy D. Paino eloquently speaks of the “transformative power of higher education, especially higher education grounded in the liberal arts tradition.”

 

The President’s Impact Fund enables President Paino to support the University's top priorities and to designate monies for special initiatives for students, faculty, academic programs, and other timely opportunities. 

 

UMW’s greatest assets are its beautiful campus, strategic location, and long tradition of providing an outstanding education in the liberal arts and sciences. In today’s rapidly changing world, a Mary Washington education instills the intrinsic value of higher-order thinking skills to develop reflective and engaged citizens.

 

Your gift to the President's Impact Fund will play a key role in UMW's continued pursuit of excellence by providing resources to support vital University priorities in a timely manner.
