Social Media
We love all the things that make UMW unique, and the stories behind our students, faculty, staff, and community. We leverage various social media accounts to connect our community with the world.
We want you to spend more time getting the word out about the awesome things you do and connecting with our students. Below are some resources that will help you stay engaged in the things that matter to #MaryWash.
