UMW Finance Committee Budget - (2008-09, 2009-10)
The following graph follows the article "Finance Committee Has $20,000 More for Club Requests" by David Noel. It discusses the budget of the Finance Committee from the 2008-09 and 2009-10 school years. I chose to use a bar graph because it effectively displays the three different sets of information that are included in the article. I chose basic colors, but they are the school colors for UMW. I think that this design element emphasizes the graph and it's information as it pertains to UMW.
Put Spending in Perspective
This infographic pulls numbers from a couple different articles in the bullet. I designed it to show some of the school's recent spending versus in-state tuition for one student.

What 1,200 can buy you
With more time, it would have looked much better and there would have been more examples, but the article I read stated that the 9% increase in tuition will equate to roughly $1,200. Thinking about that number, I thought of the things my family spends money on most and decided to do the math to figure out how many items we're missing out on because of this tuition increase.
Student Enrollment To Increase
Student Enrollment is expected to increase from 4,000 students to 4,500. The extra 500 students will require more teachers and make classroom sizes larger. Mary Washington is known for providing students with an intimate classroom setting. By increasing the enrollment by 500 students, it could extremely impact the overall environment and goals that Mary Washington wishes to full fill.
Students Per Blue Light
While I don't think this is very relevant information, this is the number of students per blue light at 4 VA schools.
The Bullet should have posted information blue lights per acres on different campuses.
