The semester is winding down and it is almost time for your loved ones to come home. We hope that you will have the opportunity to spend some quality time 

with your William and Mary student over the winter holiday break.

 

Thank you for making a positive impact on your student's college career. We look forward to continuing on our path of growth and collaboration in the New Year. Until then, from our William and Mary family to yours, we wish you a safe and happy holiday!

Why pay for health insurance you don't need?

All full-time students must have health insurance as a condition of their enrollment. If your student has not already filed an approved Waiver Request by January 10, he/she will be enrolled in the Student Insurance Plan and billed $870 for Spring 2015.

For more information, review the Insurance Requirement and Waiver Request information. To learn more about the College-sponsored Student Insurance Plan, review the information on the UnitedHealthcare StudentResources page.

Your Last College Winter Break

For many of you, this is the last winter break your student will experience for quite some time. Here are a few ideas to make the most of these four weeks.

The Job Search
If your student has not begun the job search, the winter break provides an excellent opportunity to dive in! Tribe Careers is an active database managed by the Cohen Career Center and features positions across a variety of industries. Making connections is critical as your student navigates the job search process, and the William & Mary alumni network is active and accessible through LinkedIn. The Cohen Career Center has produced a LinkedIn tutorial to assist students in making the most of this valuable tool. The Spring Career and Internship Fair takes place on Friday, January 30 from 12-4pm and allows students to connect with recruiters in person from a variety of organizations. Please let us know if you are interested in having your organization participate.
A Semester in Singapore
Some of us are born to seek safety and routine, and there are those of us, to borrow from Tennyson, whose natures drive them "to seek, to find, and not to yield." Akshay Deverakonda '15 clearly falls into the latter camp.

Tuition eBill News
The spring 2015 semester eBill is scheduled for distribution on December 9, 2014 and is due for payment on January 2, 2015. Students and Authorized Users will receive an email when the eBill is ready for viewing. If you do not have access to eServices, please have your student designate you as an Authorized User. This will allow you to view and pay the eBill, make housing deposits or set up a W&M Tuition Payment Plan.

Holidays Around The World!

Our Language Houses, with support from Dining Services and the Reves Center, presents Holidays Around The World! Throughout the month of December, Commons Dining Hall will feature d�cor and food centered on the holiday traditions from around the globe.
We Want to Hear From You!

You and your student are important to us. How can we better serve you? Please let us know if there's information you need or topics you'd like to see addressed.

Email us at parents@wm.edu.


Our community recently celebrated the second annual Tag Day on William & Mary's campus. As part of this effort, students posted signs --- or tags --- all over campus to showcase the impact of private support on their daily lives and to recognize all who came before them to make William & Mary what it is today.

 

Please take a few moments to enjoy some images from Tag Day, and please support our students with a gift to the Parents Fund today!
