Recently in class we covered the topic of the history of The University of Mary Washington. This topic is important to me for the same reason local history should be important to anyone else, it’s personal. Obviously, I am a student at the University of Mary Washington and learning the history of the school and the evolution of the buildings and student body is fascinating. Mary Washington has brought with it multiple reasons of why it’s significant. The things that come with a college town such as job opportunities, younger generations, bustling downtowns and so on. Mary Washington once taught generations of teachers and now teaches generations of brilliant young mind that will go out and change the world. The town in which it resides in offers unique opportunities to those that work for it, allowing the town to grow and flourish in unique ways as well.
