SHOWing up for the ’burg
Lending time, energy and talent to do some good in the world is a crucial element of William & Mary’s ethos, and it’s something that attracts many of our students to the university.

What started out as collecting a few books turned into one student’s idea to build a library in Accra, Ghana, from the ground up.

Before traveling abroad to promote data literacy and use of aid information in decision-making, students in AidData’s Summer Fellows program get the opportunity to live and work with AidData staff who act as resources for any AidData-related questions and serve as the students’ own Williamsburg tour guides.

A Place for Magic
They may not have wands or spells, but William & Mary students make magic happen every summer through Camp Kesem.
