William & Mary Style

Dinner with Twelve Strangers
Four times a year, six William & Mary students and six College alumni have a very special date.

Shhhhh....It's A Secret
Occasionally, a visitor to William and Mary will be talking to one of us and suddenly ask us a question. "What's the story," they want to know, "with these secret societies here at the College."

No Mere Mortal Can Resist
William & Mary students have pride for the Tribe, there's no doubt about that. In the middle of crunching for exams, they still find time to dance.

Diversity at W&M
Student conversations about diversity at William & Mary

Bhangra is Bangin'
Bhangra is the perfect cultural mash-up. This traditional dance from the Punjab region of India is the kind of high-energy, beat-driven, wildly colorful phenomenon that seamlessly absorbs musical influences-dancehall, hip-hop-without losing its roots.

Every summer Wednesday...
It's a summer chemistry tradition. Once a week, all work stops for ice cream.

Neural Bling
It's expected that some graduates of William and Mary's interdisciplinary neuroscience program will wear their hearts on their sleeves as they march for commencement--but all of them will be wearing a bit of brain on their robes.

Wren Ten
William & Mary gets a little crazy about a cappella. With 5,500 undergraduates and 11 different a cappella groups with an average of 15 members each, that means... well, you do the math.

All That and They Can Walk Backwards
William & Mary tour guides, bless their volunteery souls, work for free. But their value as recruiting tools is immeasurable, kicking the pants off of direct mail, glossy view books and college fairs combined.
