Dear Class of 2018 Families,
Time to deck the Sunken Gardens with boughs of...Tribe Pride! As another unique, eventful, and educational semester here at William & Mary comes to a close, the holiday season begins!
The last day of classes is December 2nd and final exams will be held from December 5th to the 14th. During the holiday break that follows, we hope you will have the opportunity to spend some quality time with your student.
Due to winter break, there will be no January newsletter, so on behalf of William & Mary, we wish you a happy and healthy New Year!
