Some donned tiaras in a nod to Mary Washington\u2019s May Queen. Some draped themselves in peace signs and beads. Whatever their generation, UMW alumni were wrapped up in nostalgia at Reunion Weekend 2013. The three-day event, for those who graduated in years ending in 3 or 8, offered Alumni College sessions, class competitions, and a Virginia-wine tasting. An update from President Richard V. Hurley, a rollicking Saturday night all-class party, and a bittersweet farewell brunch had alums packing new Mary Washington memories and saying \u201cso long\u201d \u2013 until next time!

Slanted to the left or to the right?<\/p>\n<p>Little details can give Scully big tips about a penman\u2019s personality. She has used them to weigh in on everything from criminal investigations to romantic relationships. But her decades-long career as a certified handwriting analyst came together much like the mysteries she solves \u2013 one clue at a time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s like working a puzzle,\u201d said Scully, who studied history, education, and psychology at Mary Washington. \u201cYou keep coming around and around. You\u2019re looking for so many things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scully taught school for a while after college, but it wasn\u2019t for her. Three years overseas, two children, and one decade later, she decided to revisit her love of psychology. She was excited until the graduate-school information she gathered let her down. \u201cI realized I didn\u2019t want to take any of those classes,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, Scully, always more intrigued by possibilities than probabilities, found herself gravitating toward courses in parapsychology and metaphysics. \u201cI was suddenly in my glory,\u201d she said. \u201cTo me, this was far more interesting than studying what traditional psychology offered.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One class stood out. A medical doctor who did research on the correlation between the physiology of the hand and the personality types set forth by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung taught a class that touched on hand gestures and handwriting analysis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I started, I was interested in helping people understand their own personalities and behavioral patterns,\u201d said Scully. \u201cI\u2019ve had people dissolve into tears of relief. It\u2019s strange because I\u2019m simply applying the skills I\u2019ve learned, but for that person, it can be life-changing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As she watched society get more and more violent, Scully saw how dysfunctional behavior contributed to the problem, and she had an idea. Her expertise as a handwriting analyst might also be valuable in law enforcement. She volunteered her services to local police, but they put her to work stuffing envelopes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey had no idea how I could help,\u201d Scully said. \u201cI realized, \u2018I can\u2019t teach them. I have to teach myself.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n<p>To be more specific about her role, she needed to know more about the crime-fighting world. She went back to school for certifications in administration of justice and private investigation. That\u2019s when a professor made a critical connection. He introduced Scully to Virginia State Police Special Agent Larry McCann, an FBI-trained profiler who used behavioral science to help solve violent crimes.<\/p>\n<p>The two worked as partners. McCann provided handwriting samples; Scully used them to supply personal details about the writer \u2212 things that might\u2019ve slipped through the cracks before she came on boards.<\/p>\n<p>Scully has helped identify writers of threatening notes, scrutinize custody letters, shed light on custody cases, select juries, and advise companies on hiring.<\/p>\n<p>Many people don\u2019t understand her work or its importance, Scully said, but that doesn\u2019t stop her. \u201cI realized I could spend my time trying to convince people, or I could just go ahead and do it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For JoNeal Hendricks Scully \u201959, a handwritten note can be the scene of a crime.

Hart \u201980 <\/b>calls his upcoming diplomatic assignment a choice job that any China hand would aspire to.<\/p>\n<p>Starting later this year, Hart will be consul general for Hong Kong and Macau. His fluency in Mandarin and Cantonese will serve him well, and so will the 30 years of State Department experience he brings to the role.<\/p>\n<p>Hart is ready for whatever frustrations his new job may bring, as his most recent position proves. He is wrapping up an assignment as special envoy to the Six-Party Talks, with the challenging task of persuading North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe talks themselves haven\u2019t convened since \u201908 for a whole bunch of reasons, most to do with North Korea\u2019s misbehavior,\u201d Hart said. But as special envoy since 2011, Hart has worked with China, Russia, Japan, and South Korea to further a shared interest in North Korean denuclearization.<\/p>\n<p>Hart\u2019s interest in the Foreign Service dates to his teen years. He skipped his last year of high school in Virginia Beach to enter college at 17. A year later, he transferred to Mary Washington because of its strong liberal arts offerings and its proximity to Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n<p>His fellow students probably remember him as a fast talker, he said, and as \u201cone of the few guys\u201d on campus at the time, just six years into coeducation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was very useful to be in the minority,\u201d Hart said. It gave him a different perspective and sensitized him to women\u2019s concerns.<\/p>\n<p>After completing a bachelor\u2019s degree in international affairs and Russian studies at Mary Washington, Hart earned a master\u2019s degree in foreign affairs from the University of Virginia. He entered the diplomatic corps while still in his early 20s. \u201cI barely had a pair of long trousers to my name,\u201d he remembered.<\/p>\n<p>Among his eye-opening early postings was a stint in Moscow in the waning years of the Soviet Union. Even under reform-minded Mikhail Gorbachev, the KGB played dirty with American diplomats. They\u2019d enter the homes of vacationing Foreign Service officers and leave freezers unplugged and toilets unflushed.<\/p>\n<p>Hart didn\u2019t personally experience such treatment. But like his colleagues, he had to assume he was monitored all the time \u2013 listened to and probably watched.<\/p>\n<p>Other assignments have been a mix of challenge and adventure at home and abroad. He\u2019s worked in Iraq; Taiwan; and Beijing and Guangzhou, China. He\u2019s also been an adviser to the Navy and the White House.<\/p>\n<p>Hart, who was honored in 2010 as UMW Distinguished Alumnus, visited the UMW campus this March and spoke with students. He fondly remembers his own Mary Washington years, especially his instruction from John Kramer, distinguished professor of political science and international affairs.

Mrs. Wyatt!\u201d they shout, excited \u2212 and sometimes even a little shocked \u2212 to spy their middle school principal in a civilian environment.<\/p>\n<p>Kay-Wyatt, a Fredericksburg teacher and administrator since 1997, has made forging strong relationships with students the cornerstone of her career, chatting them up in classrooms, hallways, lunchrooms, and everywhere in between.<\/p>\n<p>So when they spot her out and about, she\u2019s only too happy to engage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have to build some kind of connection with them or you lose them,\u201d she said. \u201cThat relationship piece is key.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mentoring tweens wasn\u2019t in Kay-Wyatt\u2019s original career plan. She earned a bachelor\u2019s degree in business at University of Mary Washington with every intention of pursuing a career in nonprofit law. She was working for a government contractor in Crystal City and taking night classes toward a master\u2019s degree in public administration when it dawned on her: She wasn\u2019t happy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wasn\u2019t satisfied in that type of job, and I always thought I would be,\u201d she said. \u201cIt was boring. It was budgets and numbers \u2212 it just wasn\u2019t for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Around that same time, she was thumbing through her high school yearbook when she found a message she\u2019d written to herself on a piece of unicorn notepaper. In it, she predicted she\u2019d be a special education teacher.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI said, \u2018This is a sign. This is what I\u2019ve been talking about,\u2019 \u201d Kay-Wyatt said.<\/p>\n<p>Within months, she\u2019d enrolled in a master\u2019s degree program at Old Dominion University and started teaching special education at Culpeper Middle School. The following year, she joined the staff at Hugh Mercer Elementary in Fredericksburg, later moving to the city\u2019s James Monroe High School, where she was voted teacher of the year in 2004.<\/p>\n<p>A year later, she became the assistant principal of Walker-Grant Middle School, and she\u2019s been the principal there since 2011. Meanwhile, she earned a master\u2019s degree in educational leadership from UMW in 2006, and she\u2019s on track to receive a doctorate from Virginia Commonwealth University in May 2014. She recently became the Region III representative to the Virginia Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, and she\u2019s a member of Women Education Leaders in Virginia. She\u2019s also the mother of two teen girls, Billie, 17, and Temple, 15.<\/p>\n<p>Academics are important, Kay-Wyatt said, but creating well-rounded young people means engaging them outside the classroom, too. To that end, she\u2019s instituted a number of programs aimed at helping students resolve conflicts, positively motivate each other, and connect with mentors in the community.<\/p>\n<p>Most days, the Walker-Grant principal is at the front door to greet students as they come in. She makes a point to talk with at least five of her 650 charges daily, and she\u2019s not above being silly to get their attention. She once wore a backward cap and sunglasses and led her staff in a flash-mob performance. Next to motherhood, Kay-Wyatt said being an educator is the most challenging and rewarding job she\u2019s ever had.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery day is different. Every moment is different. You\u2019re always looking at a situation and finding a way to make it better,\u201d she said. \u201cKids come to you from all walks of life. When you step into that building, you give them everything<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wherever Melanie Kay-Wyatt \u201992, M.Ed. \u201906 goes, she hears a familiar chorus.

Rycroft<\/p>\n<p>Many UMW faculty and alumni contributed to this two-volume, 32-chapter interdisciplinary text, which examines the causes of poverty and inequality.<\/p>\n<p>In it, prominent economists, sociologists, political scientists, philosophers, and lawyers from the U.S. and Canada tackle the question of whether poverty is propelled by societal institutions or by the personal choices of low-income individuals. They address the ways in which economic inequality affects societal mobility, exists in the U.S., affects Americans compared to those in other countries, and is balanced by social and economic policies.<\/p>\n<p>In the introduction, Rycroft points to New York City\u2019s 2011 Occupy Wall Street movement and subsequent similar developments in more than 80 countries, including Ireland, Israel, Australia, and South Korea.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven in these relatively prosperous societies there is a great deal of discomfort about whether abundance is being shared fairly,\u201d Rycroft writes. \u201cI think this book appears at the right time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Contributing experts from UMW include Rycroft, Associate Professor of Economics Shawn Humphrey, College of Business Associate Dean for Operations and Outreach Kimberly Kinsley, and Associate Professor of Sociology and Anthropology Kristin Marsh.<\/p>\n<p>Stanford University Ph.D. candidate and entrepreneur <strong>Christine Exley \u201909 <\/strong>(read more about Exley on page 59) and Bridgewater State University Assistant Professor of Economics <strong>Matthew Parrett \u201998 <\/strong>also weigh in, along with a former UMW adjunct faculty member and two spouses of UMW faculty.<\/p>\n<p><em>Praeger, March 2013<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Social Skills Deficits in Students With Disabilities: Successful Strategies From the Disabilities Field By UMW Associate Professor of Education Helen Nicole Frye Myers This text targets anyone who works with children with disabilities, including parents, teachers, counselors, and psychologists.
