W&M Women’s Weekend

Celebrating W&M Women
Sept. 12-14, 2025

In 1918, the first female students arrived at W&M. Over 100 years later, W&M women are a flourishing, vibrant and vital part of our community.

Thanks to the support of the 600-plus members of the Society of 1918, we are pleased to announce the next W&M Women’s Weekend will be held on campus Sept. 12-14, 2025! Join us for a weekend in Williamsburg to celebrate our accomplishments, strengthen our connections and learn from one another.

Registration will open in June 2025. Hotels will fill up fast, so book your room now!

W&M Women’s Weekend is open to all participants regardless of race, national origin, color, sex, gender, sexual orientation, disability or age.

 

Reshma Saujani, keynote speaker

Reshma Saujani, founder of Girls Who Code, founder and CEO of Moms First and a leading voice for women and girls’ empowerment, will sit down for a Q&A with President Katherine A. Rowe to kick off the weekend.

The Road to Women’s Weekend

In 2024 we launched the Road to Women’s Weekend, a series of engaging events leading up to W&M Women’s Weekend 2025. Each event featured inspiring talks by William & Mary women from across our community. With themes ranging from entrepreneurship to conservation to storytelling, these talks brought us together for connection and learning in the countdown to an extraordinary Women’s Weekend.
