We're thrilled to welcome you and your student to the William & Mary family!
The winter weather here in Williamsburg may be dreary now, but campus is anything but. The College is buzzing with activity and excitement. With Charter Day Weekend just around the corner on Friday, February 10th, students are gearing up to celebrate our beautiful university's 324th birthday (though we don't think she looks a day over 320!) Visit the
W&M Charter Day website to learn more about this important tradition and even
watch the ceremony live!
As your student prepares for life as a William & Mary student, please be in touch with
Parent & Family Programs whenever we can be a resource to you!
Sincerely,
