Dear Class of 2020 Families, 

The 2015-2016 academic year has come to a close. While class newsletters will begin again on August 1, throughout the summer  we will communicate important information regarding Orientation and the upcoming school year to ease your transition to William & Mary in August.

We look forward to meeting you in person soon, and cannot wait to officially welcome you to our Tribe family. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help with your transition into the Tribe. 

Sincerely,

New Green to Gold Fund finances larger W&M sustainability projects
The green revolving fund, Green to Gold, was founded this spring with an initial pool of $200,000 to finance sustainability projects that reduce resource use or greenhouse gas emissions and that pay for themselves through savings.

One Tribe One Day, the College’s third annual day of giving, was a HUGE success! In just one day over 10,000 donors participated by making a gift to the College; this included 1,155 parents! Together our families raised over $223,000 toward the Parents Fund to provide student scholarships and student life resources. Read more about One Tribe One Day here!
