The Arts at William & Mary are as diverse and creative as can be! From ceramics to Bhangra, students on campus participate in a wide variety of activities to express themselves. Sometimes inside a classroom and sometimes through clubs and activities. There is something for everyone at William & Mary, and if a club doesn't exist yet, you can always start your own!
Sometimes legacy can go beyond blood as Jay Black's and Reagan Jackson's love for the campus literally embodies "One Tribe, One Family."
William & Mary is a community that cares. There is no limit to the service you can accomplish at W&M, with 6,000 undergraduate students participating in service and community engagement each year in the Williamsburg area, nationally, and internationally. You are only bound by your imagination and motivation. Special Thanks to: Rose Richardson: Class of 2017 Meredith Randle: Fellow for Local Engagement in the Office of Community Engagement, Class of 2016 Campus Kitchens; Impact Week; Office of Community Engagement; Campus Escort; Green Goat Farm; Canine Companions for Independence

Oyster populations in the Chesapeake Bay have declined massively in recent decades due to overharvesting, disease, and sediment pollution. By the time marine scientists began monitoring bay oysters in the 1940s, oyster reefs were already decimated by 75 years of dredging. One could argue that scientists have never seen a healthy oyster reef in the Chesapeake Bay. The fossil record, in contrast, provides evidence of widespread, thriving oyster reefs before human settlement. By studying fossils of oysters, we can reconstruct how oyster reefs functioned before human disturbance and develop recommendations for oyster recovery. The fossil record provides us with a glimpse into the world of Chesapeake Bay oysters before humans—emphasizing a range of management solutions and providing new hope for the future of the Chesapeake Bay. “Holland Reef” Image courtesy of Kris Kusnerik “Oyster sanctuary buoy in Patuxent River near Solomons, Md.” is copyright (c) 2012 Chesapeake Bay Program and made available under a Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 license “Fisherman Island National Wildlife Refuge” is copyright (c) 2011 Chesapeake Bay Program and made available under a Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 license Music: “Union Hall Melody” From the Free Music Archive CC BY NC Music: “Mobile” From the Free Music Archive CC BY NC Music: “Cylinder Nine” From the Free Music Archive CC BY NC
Paper can be a foundation. It can contain the first inklings of an institution like no other. It can show us a place to come together over centuries to create something incredible — something bold. It tells us where we come from, and gives us inspiration to seek out where we’re going. Today, we celebrate paper and the people who believe in it. Charter Day 2017
