The Center for Community Engagement is located on the third floor of the UMW Cedric Rucker University Center (CRUC) in Suite 320. The UMW University Center is on College Avenue in Fredericksburg, Virginia. It is closest to Parcell St. It should show up in your GPS if you put in “UMW University Center College Ave.” It is a big, newish brick building. There is an entrance on College Avenue. Visitors can often find parking on College Ave. (2 hour only) or back in some of the neighborhoods off of College Ave.  However, please be cautious because it is easy to get a ticket in many of the residential neighborhoods.
