Health & Wellness

At William & Mary, we’re committed to optimizing the health of our community. We know that health isn’t just about your physical well-being — it includes your emotional, financial, environmental, intellectual, occupational, social and spiritual health as well.

Together, counselors and coaches, trainers and teachers, doctors and nurses, classmates and friends are all passionate about caring for one another and helping each other flourish. Every student is unique and so are their experiences. The Office of Student Success is committed to helping students with academic wellbeing, care support services and student accessibility services.

Breathe In, Breathe Out

From mindfulness workshops and yoga sessions to acupuncture services and fitness classes, the McLeod Tyler Wellness Center maintains a full spectrum of facilities and programs. Outside, you can enjoy the meditation labyrinth, life-size Zen garden and social wellness patio. It is home to Health & Wellness, which is made up of four departments — Campus Recreation, Counseling Center, Health Promotion and Student Health Center.

All Streams Lead to Lake Matoaka

Just kidding, but five small streams do feed into it. Lake Matoaka is surrounded by wooded groves and perennial gardens, and the Briggs Amphitheatre is along the shore. Take a kayak out on the water, zipline, hike the 10+ mile network of trails or attend music events.
