FUTURE OF
service
Our tradition of service and valuable contribution distinguishes William & Mary as the Alma Mater of the Nation. Future generations will choose William & Mary to strengthen their commitment to community, the Commonwealth and the world, just like the more than 3,500 W&M students who participate in service projects annually — locally and across the globe.
MOVING SERVICE FORWARD
A LOOK AT THE
W&M COMMUNITY
William & Mary is a place of unusual connections, as our & implies. Our long history grounds us in rich traditions. Yet the story of the second-oldest institution in the country is also one of innovation. William & Mary was the start-up lab for U.S. higher education in the 17th and 18th centuries. Today, we have the opportunity to take a lead in defining liberal arts and sciences, and professional education, for the 21st century.
The Pamunkey Indian Tribe is working with William & Mary researchers to preserve the reservation’s archaeological record before it’s too late.
The project is an example of the ways William & Mary students take their learning into the community while partnering and benefiting local organizations that serve citizens.
