Dear Class of 2020 Families,
Spring is just around the corner and our students are gearing up for spring break, which will take place from the 4th to the 12th. The break is an opportunity for our students to travel home, serve the community, or just take that much needed break from classes.
Later this month is William & Mary's
One Tribe, One Day. On March 28th, we hope you will join us in helping William & Mary make history by advancing participation rates as we strive to increase the number of scholarships awarded to talented students, build on research efforts that help solve society's greatest challenges, and continue to prepare future leaders to boldly drive positive change.
We hope that this newsletter is valuable and finds you well. And as always, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out!
Sincerely,
Alicia and Con Coughlin P'20

Student Satisfaction
Each year we survey students about their experience. This year, residents report that they are highly satisfied with roommates and community being respectful of their study time, sleep time, privacy, and property.
