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+ 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.

Submit a Mary Talk Application

Women’s Weekend 2025 will feature Mary Talks — our version of TEDx Talks, where women take center stage to speak about their passions and how they hope to change the world in ways big and small. While professional and polished speakers are encouraged to apply, so are those who have a great story to tell, a performance to share or a new idea to explore. Have an idea to share?
