Campus Opportunities

As a member of the W&M international community, one of the best ways to begin to explore life in the United States is by becoming involved locally and on campus. We celebrate the rich diversity of the W&M community through international arts and culture events, speaker series, film festivals and symposia.

  • ISSP Programs and Trips
  • Many W&M Events are open to public
  • VIMS Campus events
  • The Reves Digest is a weekly email that keeps the W&M and local community updated on internationally focused events and announcements. It is emailed each Monday of the undergraduate academic year.
  • VIMS Students & Scholars: VIMS has very active email lists (VIMS misc and VIMS business). Scholars should talk to their faculty host, if not already subscribed. You will need to do the VIMS check-in process and Chris Palmer from VIMS Information Technology and Network Services will add you to the lists.
