Summer Pre-Orientation Programs
For those who can't wait...
W&M's pre-Orientation programs are great way to learn more about yourself and our community the summer before you join us in August for university-wide New Student Orientation!
7 Generations2024 Dates: Monday, August 19 - Friday, August 23 7 Generations offers incoming students the opportunity to participate in hands-on service while learning about the local community and sustainability. In small teams, students volunteer with nonprofits committed to environmental, social, and economic sustainability including local parks, city government, and cultural organizations. Living and serving together during the program, teams build community as they volunteer, share their meals, explore Williamsburg, and learn about W&M from their upperclassmen team leaders. 7 Generations is hosted by Civic & Community Engagement. |
Summer Connections Program2024 Dates: Monday, July 22 - Friday, July 26 The Student Accessibility Services (SAS) Summer Connections Program provides a supportive summer experience for entering students before they arrive at W&M. The program provides an introduction to academic life, an acclimation to the campus, a chance to make social connections, learn disability advocacy, and practice essential college life skills. We have created this specifically for students with a disability, and our staff are familiar with the needs of students with disabilities. During the program, students will engage in mock class sessions, interact with peer leaders, and engage in social outings to build community and relationships. Participants will also be provided the opportunity to become familiar with numerous campus resources, including the Dean of Students Office and the Office of Undergraduate Academic Affairs. |
Pathways2024 Dates: Campus Recreation offers incoming students a unique and transformative pre-orientation experience. Participants share an extended outdoor adventure experience designed to assist students during this time of transition. No previous outdoor experience is necessary. During their adventures, students will develop a strong sense of self-efficacy while gaining valuable social and leadership skills. Lead by the TAP's student trip leaders, participants learn about W&M life, are welcomed into the Tribe community and become part of a W&M tradition. |
Preparing for Life as a University Student (PLUS)2024 Dates: Saturday, July 20 - Saturday, July 27, 2024 PLUS provides a supportive introduction to academic life at William & Mary, providing participants with the opportunity to interact with some of our most distinguished faculty members here at William & Mary. During the PLUS Program, students will engage in mock class sessions, while also gaining invaluable insight from professors and current students about being holistically successful at the University. Participants will also be provided the opportunity to become familiar with numerous campus resources, including the Dean of Students office, the Office of Undergraduate Academic Affairs, and the Washington Center. |
For participants traveling to Williamsburg from farther distances, the university's Parking & Transportation Services Office has an Airport and Out of Town Travel page that is useful when coordinating such logistics.
