Office of Community Engagement

Cultivating Active Citizenship Within Our Communities

The Office of Community Engagement connects William & Mary and community to support students’ development as active and educated citizens and to promote positive, community-driven social change. Our vision is that students will prioritize working within and understanding community in a lifelong pursuit of social justice.

Community Engagement During the COVID-19 Pandemic

In these times of increasing community distress in areas of physical and mental health, equity, and economic stability, we have an urgent call to support our community through responsible, mutually-beneficial, justice-based engagement. We also prioritize the health and safety of community members and students, and seek to reduce risk of COVID-19 transmission in any community engagement activity. We have developed community engagement guidelines that honor these priorities, and are glad to share in-person and remote opportunities for engagement.
