Mosaic House
Mosaic House is a co-curricular, co-educational residential house -- a special interest living option for William & Mary undergraduates. It is open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors, and is housed in Jamestown North.
Students in Mosaic House are involved in on-going intellectual exchange about culture, diversity, interracial community, and sexuality. Mosaic House provides a supportive space for students at the intersection of the campus's growing diversification and also welcomes students who wish to expand their cross-cultural understanding. Students who live in Mosaic House have a private node of rooms and their own lounge, and organize their own events -- film series, speakers, book groups, diversity workshops, cultural fairs, and more. Programs serve Mosaic House members and the broader W&M community.
Program Eligibility and Requirements
Rising sophomores, juniors, or seniors from any discipline are eligible. To be considered for Mosaic House, students must be in good academic standing; they must have already taken at least one course on diversity issues prior to moving into the dorm, and they must take one additional course during their first year in the dorm to be considered for readmission.* Mosaic residents are also expected to help organize and participate in cultural or activist events organized by Mosaic House during their year(s) of residence, and to serve on two or more House committees (a strong record of service and participation is also required for readmission). The Mosaic House Coordinators select all program participants.
*Courses, from across the curriculum, may address race and ethnicity, gender, sex and sexuality, cultural diversity (including immigrant issues in the U.S. or elsewhere in the world), and religious diversity. The most relevant courses will define culture as a dialogue rather than as a normative center.
Important Deadlines
- Submit completed application by Friday, January 27, 2012
- Submit $200 Room Reservation Deposit to the Bursar by Friday, February 17, 2012

Sharpe Community Partnership Program
The Sharpe Community Partnership Program is a residential initiative that extends William and Mary's long-held tradition of public and community service. Nurturing both responsible citizenship and energetic involvement in the community is part of the College's mission. In the spirit of our mission and traditions, students who participate will live in Sharpe program residences, enroll in program-sponsored seminars, take part in public forums and work together on community projects - all as a way of encouraging freshmen to explore issues in our national life and become directly involved in these issues through public service.
Substance-Free Housing
The College currently offers the third floor of Jefferson Hall as a substance-free floor. In 2011-2012 the third floor of Brown Hall will house a substance-free floor. Residents living on this floor agree that they, and their guests, will refrain from smoking, using any tobacco product, or consuming any alcoholic beverages at any time they are physically present on the floor, including in private residence rooms.
Alcohol is not permitted in any individual room in a freshman residence hall unless one of the residents is at least 21 years of age and the alcohol belongs to that resident. Further, alcohol is not permitted in the public areas of freshman residences nor may functions with alcohol be scheduled in freshman residence halls.
