Applied Learning
Applied learning engages students beyond the classroom to apply knowledge and develop skills and values that enable them to connect their academic pursuits meaningfully with their personal and professional lives.
This can take many forms, including community-engaged learning, study abroad, research, externships, and internships.

What's Your &?
Since our very founding the spirit of the ampersand has been a part of William & Mary. For us, it is more than just a symbol, it is who we are. We’ve highlighted some amazing student stories of how they showcase the ands in their lives. Their involvements, passions, and accomplishments show how William & Mary students are getting career ready and learning new things every day.
Support W&M Students
From funding unpaid internships and travel subsidies to providing for the "Dress to Impress" closet and professional development programs like the etiquette dinner, there are many ways you can support career development for W&M students.

Our Vision
William & Mary will lead in the preparation of lifelong learners equipped to navigate rapid change and thrive from their first job to their last.
