A Message from President Troy D. Paino

April 30, 2025 by jlaiacon Leave a Comment

Dear Alumni and Friends,

President Troy D. Paino
President Troy D. Paino

As spring unfolds across our beautiful campus, I’m filled with gratitude for our Mary Washington community. The recent Student Showcase and Scholarship Luncheon was a powerful reminder of how your thoughtful planned giving creates impactful learning opportunities for our students. These opportunities not only enhance their educational experience on campus, but they continue to provide benefits throughout their life after Mary Washington.

Soon, we’ll celebrate the Class of 2025 at Commencement. I know so many of you still remember the pomp and circumstance of your own ceremonies at this time of year. Whether you graduated from Mary Washington or another institution, I’m sure you were surrounded by family, friends, and faculty and staff on that special day. Some of you may be present at our ceremony on Saturday, May 10, while others will be there in spirit. Either way, I hope you know that your steadfast support and dedication will be felt and appreciated by everyone in attendance, especially our students. Thank you for remaining “forever true” to them and to Mary Washington.

This letter originally ran in the Gift Planning Connections Newsletter, Spring 2025
