At the University of Mary Washington, more than 150 clubs and organizations fuel student life—through service, civic engagement, academics, the arts, sports, identity, hobbies, and more. These groups are open to all students and are where friendships spark, passions ignite, and leaders are made.
This October, you can help take that experience even further. The student-run clubs below chose to participate in this year's EAGLEfunding and are rallying support to bring their boldest ideas to life. Whether you give to a group close to your heart or one that sparks your own passion, your gift will directly expand what’s possible for UMW students.
And the stakes are high! The club with the most unique donors will unlock $1,000, thanks to UMW Foundation Trustee Patti Boise Kemp ’69, who also served as Student Government president during her time at Mary Washington and later as Alumni Association president. Second place will receive $500, third place $250, and every club with at least 10 donors will be entered in a drawing to win an extra $500--all thanks to Patti! Your gift doesn’t just make a difference—it fuels competition, community, and lasting impact.
