What is Orientation?
Orientation occurs before the fall (August 23-27, 2013) and spring (January 10-14, 2014) semesters to introduce new students to many aspects of W&M including student life, academic policies and the honor code. The goal of each Orientation program is to make our students feel right at home from the moment they set foot on campus.
The William & Mary Orientation program is run by one of the largest student volunteer staffs in the country. Our staff is hand selected each year and knows everything there is to know about W&M. We look forward to meeting and working with you soon!
