Good morning.

Commencement will be held on Page Terrace as scheduled this morning at 10 a.m.

In making the decision to hold the ceremony outdoors on campus despite the iffy weather, President Fox kept in mind the strong preference of the Class of 2013.

Family and friends attending today's ceremony should use their best judgment regarding rain gear. Since the grassy hillside could be slippery should it become wet, we encourage guests to wear appropriate footwear and as always exercise appropriate caution.

Congratulations to all those who will receive their degrees today, and deepest thanks to all the family and friends whose support helped them along the way.

Boldly Baldwin word mark

Fall Break Volunteers

Whitney Altizer (left) and Sarah Anne Barrow were among six Mary Baldwin students and their friends who visited the offices of Women for Women International (WFWI) in Washington, D.C., over Fall Break for a day of service. Altizer, Barrow, Jasmine Greinke, and Berra Kabarungi (all members of CGIU: Changemakers for Women ), and Janvier Gakwaya, Justin Lipes, and Director of International Programs Heather Ward helped mail hundreds of letters to donors and sponsors, including correspondence from WFWI “sponsored sisters,” who wrote about who lives in their household and what kind of work they and their families do. Many also included photos of themselves farming and cooking. In addition to their volunteer work in D.C., members of CGIU: Changemakers for Women raise money to sponsor women survivors of war.
