University of Mary Washington
Located in Fredericksburg, VA – between the nation's capitol and state's capitol – University of Mary Washington offers more than sixty undergraduate majors, minors, and courses of study through the College of Arts and Sciences, College of Business, and College of Education. This isn’t an education on auto-pilot. We’re one of the top public liberal arts and sciences universities in the nation. (Just check out our rankings in the most prestigious selective guides.) We’ll challenge you to make the connections that aren’t obvious: the beauty in science and the logic in theater. We’ll help you imagine broadly and think deeply. We’ll encourage you to look for the wisdom hidden inside every mistake you’ve ever made. Don’t worry – you’ll also have plenty of time for Facebook, Frisbee, and fun. This is a close-knit campus where friends are like family and opportunity bubbles up all around you. You’ll find yourself laughing out loud in the residence halls, kicking back in the Eagle’s Nest, working out in the fitness center, and generally having a great time wherever you run into good friends, which is pretty much everywhere. But we don’t make things any simpler than they should be, because you’re not going to college to be less than you are. With innovative and accessible master teachers, you'll be inspired to think critically, engage meaningfully, and communicate effectively. Our small, highly interactive classes motivate students to prepare for, participate in, and embrace new knowledge so that they get the most out of their educational investment. Our graduates are world ready. They're what employers are looking for: a resourceful, articulate, adaptable, disciplined problem-solver and critical thinker.www.umw.edu

Now, the host of Town Talk, Ted Schubel.
Ted ShubelHOST
University of Mary Washington and University of Mary Washington galleries this morning.
Ted ShubelHOST
And I don't know that we have ever done a show with UMW galleries.
Ted ShubelHOST
Looking forward to this.
Ted ShubelHOST
Tracy Stonestreet is here, the UMW galleries director and a UMW assistant professor of studio art.
Ted ShubelHOST
Corraine Devon is here this morning.
Ted ShubelHOST
Good morning to both of you.
6 MINS LATER
Corinne DevinGUEST
Yeah.
Rich MarrHOST
I'm Rich Marr.
Rich MarrHOST
Eric Bonds is a professor of sociology at the University of Mary Washington and his writing about environmental issues has been featured in the Virginia Mercury.
Rich MarrHOST
Welcome, Eric.
Rich MarrHOST
Hello.
13 MINS LATER
Eric BondsGUEST
Yes.
Eric BondsGUEST
Yeah.
Eric BondsGUEST
So I worked with a student at the University of Mary Washington, Victor Newby.
Eric BondsGUEST
And because we had seen non-disclosure agreements pop up in a couple of different instances, and we just want to know how widespread are the use of non-disclosure agreements in Virginia.
Gabe PonsGUEST
And it also aligns with University of Mary Washington's Parents Weekend, as well as there's the Fredericksburg Book Festival that's happening in the Riverfront Park.
Gabe PonsGUEST
So it's going to be hopefully a big, big day.
Ted ShubelHOST
Speaking of UMW, a couple of people from the UMW galleries were in yesterday.
Ted ShubelHOST
We did a show, and so since it was art, I mentioned Art Attack, and they just lit up and talked about how Art Attack, for a lot of Mary Washington students, and they encouraged their students to get involved to do the things that we'll get into this morning about Art Attack, but they had nothing but good things to say
Gabe PonsGUEST
about it.
13 MINS LATER
Simon WattsGUEST
So we're 600 block near Billikens.
Simon WattsGUEST
And that's a really good block because you're right by the park and you're right by the hotel and the parking garage and it works out pretty well.
Ted ShubelHOST
Yeah, and with everything that's going on that weekend too, besides with the book, with the UMW families and with the book festival.
Rachel PerryHOST
So I had a realization recently, and it started with John Mark, my son.
Rachel PerryHOST
So he's a sophomore at Mary Washington, and he's been trying to figure out what he wants to major in.
Rachel PerryHOST
He's talked about history, he's talked about art history, and he's also looking at a GIS minor.
Rachel PerryHOST
And at some point, my husband and I were talking about him, and we were basically like, "Okay, history, it, it probably gives you more options," which sounds reasonable, right? Except I was thinking about it later.
Graeme RaubenheimerHOST
News24's Siamtana Trapa reports the same U.S. embassy, now under management by Trump-deployee Ambassador Brent Boesel III, is mulling introducing a sports diplomacy program.
Graeme RaubenheimerHOST
This would see a group of U.S. student-athletes jetting to Mzanzi to train alongside local rugby clubs, with the University of Mary Washington's Jose Sainz confirming ongoing talks with the Sharks in Durban.
Graeme RaubenheimerHOST
Sainz says they're heading to Cape Town for negotiations next.
Graeme RaubenheimerHOST
That's following the Springboks versus All Blacks clash in Baltimore, setting the stage for the Rugby World Cup being hosted in the US in 2031.
Catherine WillisGUEST
So he was wonderful.
Catherine WillisGUEST
The German sister city was next, and Marcel Rotter, who's a professor at Mary Washington, had had his students do research into original sources about German immigrants, so they presented.
Catherine WillisGUEST
Then Craig Vasey and Bill Beck and Brooke DeLauro talked about three different aspects of France, the history of the Eiffel Tower, which was illuminating, and how it related to the Statue of Liberty.
Catherine WillisGUEST
And then Bill Beck talked about the philosophical relationship between French philosophers and the Statute of Religious Freedom, which is a cornerstone of American foundation.
Patrick AhernGUEST
But you know what delighted me last evening, and I think this is a great thing, that she had students there last night from Shenandoah.
Patrick AhernGUEST
We invited UMW and Shenandoah students to come be our guests last night.
Patrick AhernGUEST
And...
Patrick AhernGUEST
It was heartwarming to me to see, because she's such a talent.
Anne LittleGUEST
So if you go over and look at...
Anne LittleGUEST
The Brompton Oak over at Brompton, the president of Mary Washington University, that tree is mulched all the way out to its drip line.
Anne LittleGUEST
It's over, well, let's see.
Anne LittleGUEST
It was alive.
PatHOST
We got Queens versus Southern Virginia.
PatHOST
Bonneys versus Mary Washington.
PatHOST
Dartmouth versus McGill.
PatHOST
That's a Canadian side.
ZachHOST
And I'm interested to see how Queens is going to come into that 2026 season here.
ZachHOST
There'll be a big test for them right off the bat.
ZachHOST
Bonneys and Mary Washington should be a good game as well.
ZachHOST
We'll see what the Bonneys are really made of here now.
Lydia Taylor DavisGUEST
And so people are hungry for the truth, but we are seeing more violence.
Lydia Taylor DavisGUEST
I mean, I had Antifa show up to one of my campus tour stops at the University of Mary Washington and chant at me that they hope I get Charlie Kirk'd.
Lydia Taylor DavisGUEST
And they called me a fascist.
Lydia Taylor DavisGUEST
Ironically, none of them could define what a fascist is.
