University of Mary Washington College of Business

Counting the days for our students (new and returning) to be back on campus. It has been very lonely and quiet this summer! Safe travels on your upcoming return!

Hey COB Students, what are you up to this summer? Do you have an internship, externship, work study job, are traveling abroad, or doing something else that's interesting? Let us know!

Send a short blurb about what you're doing along with a picture of yourself (bonus points if you're wearing UMW attire) to Ms. Whitacre at [email protected], and you may just find yourself featured on UMW's social media this summer!

Congratulations to Amy Jessee '06, on being named UMW's new Executive Director of University Communications. Jessee is an alumna, who graduated from UMW with dual degrees in business administration and English, and we greatly look forward to welcoming her back to campus at the end of June!
