Autumn Blast

Discover where you belong.

Autumn Blast is an annual fall program that showcases belonging at W&M. Hosted by our inclusive excellence team, this immersive experience offers a firsthand look at how William & Mary celebrates the unique qualities that make you, you.

During Autumn Blast, you will:

• Gain insight into our admission process.
• Connect with current students, faculty, and staff.
• Explore the vibrant, inclusive community that defines W&M.

By the end of the program, you'll understand what we mean when we say: "Who comes here belongs here."

Registration for Autumn Blast has closed. Please check back in fall 2026!

You Belong

You Belong at William & Mary

To celebrate our core value of belonging, we invite admitted students and families to You Belong - a special Friday event held each April alongside our Day for Admitted Students. This signature experience introduces you to the vibrant, inclusive community that makes William & Mary extraordinary.

At You Belong, you can:

• Experience a day in the life at W&M - attend faculty sessions, enjoy a meal in our dining halls, and catch a student performance.
• Connect with current students and faculty from a wide range of backgrounds and interests. 
• Explore campus resources, support services, and inclusive excellence initiatives.

Who should attend?
All admitted students from historically underrepresented backgrounds - and anyone looking to find community and connection at W&M.
