Student Programs

Never underestimate an undergraduate.

W&M’s Global Research Institute is committed to creating unparalleled hands-on research opportunities for students. Here, students at the beginning of their careers collaborate with faculty and experts in their fields. No matter where our students wind up after their time at W&M, we’re proud that they have experiences at the Institute that teach them the core tools of independent research: asking probing questions and developing robust methods to seek solutions.
