The $50 million Mary Washington First campaign recognizes the vital contributions of alumni toward the University of Mary Washington’s future as a top-flight public liberal arts and sciences institution. This special edition of UMW Magazine delves into how alumni generosity enhances and strengthens UMW by supporting research by the university's master teachers; by funding scholarships that attract stellar students; and by restoring the beloved amphitheater for future generations. A highlight of the campaign coverage is a profile of Anne Marie Thompson Steen ’83 and Daniel K. Steen ’84, who have devoted themselves wholeheartedly to supporting their alma mater.
