This club exists to foster an appreciation and understanding for insects and other terrestrial invertebrates both on campus and around the world. Entomology Club celebrates the interdisciplinary nature of entomological study, inviting all passionate students to engage with each other across its many fields, including the physical sciences, visual arts, conservation and ecology, entertainment and media, and human cultures and societies. Club activities and events will advocate for entomology’s importance in the face of current environmental challenges, cultural relevance, and human health. Through outreach and community service, Entomology Club will raise awareness about insect biodiversity and improve the public perception of insects and terrestrial invertebrates alike.
Graduate Student Association (GSA)
William & Mary’s Graduate Student Association (GSA)is a student-led organization that brings together graduate students from the various academic departments and graduate programs of the College of Arts & Sciences and the School of Computing, Data Sciences, and Physics. The GSA seeks to: advance the academic and social interests of graduate students, select eligible graduate students for college committees in which graduate representation is necessary, advance the recognition and integration of graduate students, and provide a forum for the dissemination of information and ideas to the graduate student community.

oSTEM W&M Chapter
Out in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (oSTEM) is a national organization dedicated to supporting leadership and mentorship opportunities for LGBTQIA* members in STEM fields. The W&M chapter fosters a social community and educates the broader College community about diversity issues in STEM research and education. They also organize fundraisers to support LGBTQ+ and science-related foundations.Visit them on Instagram.
Marine Science Society
We are a group of undergraduates interested in the field of marine science. Though we act as support for the marine science minor, you don’t have to be part of the program to join the Society. We welcome all students who want to learn more about the world beneath the waves, regardless of your educational path. Our mission is to connect students who are passionate and curious about marine science, introduce them to resources William & Mary has to offer, such as the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS), promote a welcoming atmosphere for learning and discussion, and engage with some of the environmental problems affecting the ocean today. We meet 7-8 pm on Thursdays in Chancellors 132. Visit them on Instagram.
A recreational club encouraging fishing. The core purpose of the MBF is to promote fishing as a form of outdoor recreation and to foster a fishing community. Our motto is "tight lines and good times."
Do you love to fish or perhaps the great outdoors? Do you need a space to clear your mind and hang out with friends? Are you fascinated in environmental science or conservation? If any of these apply to you, come join William & Mary's largest fishing club, the Matoaka Bottom Feeders! Learn more and visit them on Instagram.
Veterans Society of William & Mary
The Biology Department supports veterans pursuing degrees in the biological sciences. Founded in 2007, the Veterans Society of William & Mary serves as a social and support network for veterans, engaging in community service, raising veteran awareness on campus, lobbying efforts, and advocacy on behalf of student veterans.
