STEP relies on student leaders to help deliver initiatives and programs that are meaningful to the broader W&M student experience.
Consider joining our team! While opportunities to serve as an Orientation Aide or an Initiative Director open annually, others become available as student leaders graduate or move on to new adventures.
Community Consultants support The Griffin's Nest, William & Mary's Center for Community Development - as well as the student staff and campus community leaders who utilize the center's resources. These students leaders help educate university partners on what it means to be "in community" with other members of the Tribe and how to develop spaces and places that harken back to the university's values.
