Stepping Stones

Opportunities to connect with new classmates and begin to establish the friendships that will sustain you for all time coming.

Stepping Stones are a series of virtual new student meet-ups created with the intention of easing incoming students into life as a college student within the W&M community. 

These events are centered on helping students find an initial community within the university. Perhaps you'll find your new best friend, future roommate, or a friendly face to look for on move-in day!

Each Stepping Stone will consist of different community resource presentation followed by student-to-student conversations and open student leader Q&A.

Students are encouraged to register and attend all - or as many - Stepping Stones as they are able! However, we know that schedules can be challenging so presentations will be recorded and shared out via the STEP YouTube Channel.

Stay tuned for our Fall 2026 new student offerings. Coming soon!
