  • “We were very pleased with the accommodations and the way in which the staff worked with us. On the front end, the staff responded to emails and telephone calls quickly. When we met with the staff to finalize the room setup, equipment needs, etc., the staff was very helpful with suggestions and also in showing us where everything was located. On the day of our forum, the staff was right there to help, yet did not interfere with the program in any way. Overall a wonderful experience. Well done!”
  • “This was the 2nd year we used the University Hall for our Annual Awards Ceremony, and everything we needed or asked for was provided in a timely and professional manner.”

  • “I greatly appreciate the friendly service provided by all UMWD Campus staff members I encountered.”
  • “Thank you very much for your assistance last week with our event. The set-up of the room was perfect for it, and I know that for any future events of that size we will be returning.  Thank you again, and I look forward to working with you many more times.”
  • “Great job, ALL!”
  • “I’ve already had two people ask me how to reserve a room so that they could do it as well.”
  • “The staff are extremely helpful, and everyone is courteous and pleasant. It is a joy to work with them. The facilities are excellent, and the equipment is easy to use. I am very impressed.”
  • “Everything was excellent. Technology and WiFi in rooms work great. Requested speaker phone which also worked perfectly.”
  • “Through my own fault and not that of your staff, I did not give your staff a CD to pre-test prior to using the morning of my event.  Consequently, the music was not compatible and would not play on the sounds system on the podium. Your staff saved the day by downloading the National Anthem for me on his iPhone and played it through the system.  I mentioned this for two reasons:  (1) to give kudos to your staff for quick thinking, and (2) to use my experience to warn other non-techs who may think that all audios or visuals will work anywhere.  Thank you.”
  • “It was very nice, very professional, and very well done.  The ability to have an effective meeting without a pile of paperwork was wonderful.  I plan on having more meetings there.  Everyone I met was friendly and kind.  Very professional.”
  • “This was my first visit to the Dahlgren Campus, and I was truly impressed.  The facilities are very attractive, comfortable, and conducive to learning.  I spent 2 workdays in one of the 24-student classrooms, where the seating, workspaces, lighting, noise levels, climate control, and classroom display monitors were all excellent.”
  • “We provided you with about 24 hours notice that we were in need of VTC capabilities for a presentation. You responded promptly and enabled us to carry out our requirement.  I appreciate your working with us on such a short notice.  All of the staff were very helpful.  Thank you!”
  • “Accommodations were as requested.  Facility clean.  Very beautiful spaces.”
  • “The meeting space was well appointed and worked well for holding a team meeting.  The displays and dry erase board and associated equipment were in good  order and worked well.  I plan to use the meeting spaces for future meetings.”
  • “Great venue and super support staff.”
  • “Good atmosphere, close to NSWCDL is key.”
  • “Everything went wonderful, and I would like to thank you and your staff for helping in making the awards ceremony a success for us.”
  • “Just wanted to say thank you for the excellent classroom.  The training went really well, and it helped having such a nice place to have it.”
  • “It would be nice to have a bar stool type chair for the instructor – very nice facilities – we at DD love to hold our events off the base, and this is the perfect solution.”
  • “Thank you for the tour. What a lovely facility for meetings and classes! You are rightfully proud of it.  We will huddle on the Dahlgren side, but a great outcome would be a space where Dahlgren researchers and UMW students can interact to explore robotics and human-robotic interaction.”
  • “Just a quick note to thank you and the others at UofMW Dahlgren for their efficiency and graciousness before, during and after our event on Wednesday.  It is always a pleasure to work with you.”

  • “As always the staff was helpful and courteous and the facilities were amazing.  People commented all evening about how beautiful the building is, especially with all the new foliage. Thank you so much for making our special evening a success, and our guests feel welcome!”
  • “The staff was very helpful – very friendly and focused on providing the services needed: number of chairs, audiovisual, support, etc. needed for a guest speaker. They also offered additional items and services, which were not utilized for this event, but were good to know for future events. The guest speaker was made to feel welcome on arrival. Definitely would consider using this venue again. Thanks!!”

  • “The support was outstanding! Everyone was very helpful.”
  • “The UMW staff were all friendly, professional and helped with all of our questions and needs.”
  • “Sound system doesn’t seem to work very well when using the hand held microphones. We were better off just raising our voices. This is the second time the use of hand held microphones have failed to work well.”
  • “I used the Dahlgren facilities to conduct an important 4 hour workshop with a group in the Middle East. This created special needs such as starting the event at 6:00AM. The staff graciously supported every need and did so in an exemplary manner. I would highly recommend Dahlgren without any reservations.”
  • “I gave a class at UMW; and in the 10 years I have been giving it, the facilities you provided were the best I have ever experienced. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything went well. Great job!!!”

  • “I taught a two-week course at this location and was very impressed with all aspects of the facility and staff. You provided outstanding IT support to our offering. “
  • “The video equipment locked up on us.  The slides were changing on our computer, but not on the video monitors.  Also, there was some difficulty with the lights and shades.  It would be beneficial to have directions on how to manipulate them.  Even the staff took a while to figure out the lights.”
  • “Very impressed by the facilities and IT.”
  • “Thank you so much for the support of our Chapter’s program on August 16th, ‘Lessons Learned from the Hanoi Hilton’.  The venue was great and impressive.  Everyone was impressed by not only the campus, but more so by all the great help and support that we received.”
  • The training went well.  We learned a lot, especially about the pools and PVC pipe drillings.  Thanks for your help and patience.  Your staff was great and very helpful!  We really like the facility.”
  • “We are pleased to say that we had an excellent experience at University of Mary Washington, Dahlgren Campus, King George, VA on July 31, 2012. The Administrator was very proactive from the moment we made contact with the Dahlgren Campus in search of classroom space. We received detailed guidance on available services and associated fees. We were directed to the university’s website to proceed with our reservations. On the day of class, we were greeted by a staff that was available very early in the morning and supplied us with the utmost services and periodically made checks on our class to ensure that it was set up appropriately, and the staff was there to see that the class flowed promptly. Thank you for your professionalism.”
  • “The UMW Dahlgren campus overall was very pleasant for a classroom setting.  One area that could use improvement is the chairs in the classroom.  They are not comfortable and particularly so if sitting in them for extended periods of time such as an all day class.  Several students complained about them.  Additionally, the shared drives for the computers were a bit difficult to access at times.”
  • “Thank you for making this facility here not only a center for education and training, but as a place where groups like ours and other groups can come together and form community again.”
  • “I cannot begin to express my deep gratitude for everything you’ve done to make last night the huge success that it was. The event and the exhibit itself are things I am extremely proud to be a part of, and none of it would have been done as professionally and impressively without your contributions. I hope you were able to enjoy some of the enthusiastic compliments from guests last night, because every bit of them belongs to you all as well.  I look forward to many more events working with your capable and fun staff in the future.”
  • “Thank you again for all the wonderful support you offered for our forum tonight. It was a great success.”

  • “Thank you for all of your support last night. We couldn’t have done it without you! It was a huge success and people really loved being there. You are providing such a wonderful service to the community.”
  • “The meeting went very well. Everyone who spoke to me about the meeting was very happy about the building. In fact, a couple of branch members recommended that we do this yearly. Apparently it did facilitate sharing of information. I have recommended it to my supervisor and fellow branch heads.”
  • “I wanted to say overall, I was VERY pleased.  The room temperature was perfect.  So many times at other locations it is just absolutely unneccessarily cold.  The lights never went out, but probably because I was moving about the room.  Unfortunately, even though the gentleman tested the wireless hand microphones prior to the event, they didn’t work for me.  No one could hear when I tried to use them even when I turned them up to almost maximum volume.  The podium microphone was fine.  I tried to wear the lapel microphone but it didn’t work for me, but when I used it as a hand microphone for the audience it worked.  Overall the event went very well, and I thank you for setting everything up for me.”
  • “Thank you again for all your help in making tonight such a rousing success.  I’ve worked with a number of event organizers and facility directors over the years, and you’re at the top of the list. It was a real pleasure to work with you.”
  • “I enjoyed meeting you yesterday and seeing the UMW Dahlgren facility.  Thank you for the tour and your assistance in coordinating our meeting there next Tuesday, 27 March. We are so fortunate to have such access to such a wonderful facility!”
  • “The NAVFAC Atlantic design team appreciates your time devoted to us during our unannounced tours at your beautiful King George facility last week.  We did not expect to get such a comprehensive tour without having an appointment…especially to even get to see the green roof.  Thanks to you and your team who so generously led us throughout your sustainable and inspiring new building.  We all wish it was closer to Norfolk so that we could take advantage of such a great  facility.  Perhaps, we can arrange for one of our future project meetings to be held there.”
  • “I am very impressed how UMW’s staff handles themselves in providing customer service.  You have certainly made my job a lot easier. “
  • “The room was wonderful.  Very bright and scenic.  I appreciate all of your assistance to get this set up.”
  • “Thanks for taking the time this morning to meet with us.  You certainly have a great facility…I can’t wait to get settled into my new office.  :o   Looking forward to our first class in your building.”
  • “Great job on Friday’s event – it was wonderful.”
  • “We held a Computational Electromagnetics (CEM) Technical interchange meeting.  Everything worked out great.  Thanks.”
  • “Thank you for accommodating us last week. The space was ideal for the type of meeting/discussion we were having. The monitors and white boards worked well. The only potential improvement would be a longer monitor cable. As you know, this was easily worked around. Thanks again for everything and we look forward to using your spaces in the future.”
  • “I am really grateful to have met you and appreciate your prompt response!  I truly feel with your assistance, Tony’s retirement ceremony is going to be amazing!  Thank you again for working with me on this!”
