Dear Class of 2018 Families, 

Welcome to a new and exciting school year! We are ecstatic to have your students here on campus with us! As the sunny Williamsburg summer transitions into the beautiful Williamsburg autumn, classes will commence and the Fall 2016 semester will begin to take shape.

While your student explores new opportunities here at William & Mary, be sure to stay connected with the Parent & Family Programs website for exposure to the most pertinent family resources and the best ways to get involved and stay engaged.

We hope to see you all on campus later this month for the 50th anniversary of Family Weekend.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.


Sincerely,
Meher and Sami Khan, P'18

Emergency Alerts

Each semester, the Dean of Students Office requests that all students update their emergency alert and other essential information.  We will send an email to your students asking them to navigate to personalinfo.wm.edu.  At this website, they will login using their W&M credentials and verify the information listed, local address, emergency alerts system, emergency contact information, and any updates for parent/guardian/spouse.

Please have a conversation with your student to ensure that our emergency alert system has the most up-to-date information.

Welcome Home!
Welcome Home! Now that move-in is behind us, it's time for your students to get involved with Hall Council, as Hall Governance and Self Determination define the W&M residential experience. Does your student have what it takes to make a difference and shape the community? 

It's never too early to make travel plans. Find out on our website during which breaks the halls remain open. Additionally, it is always good to be prepared for inclement weather. Be sure to have a plan should bad weather find its way to the Burg. 

Don't forget to like William & Mary Residence Life on Facebook and follow wmreslife on Instagram and Twitter.
