About W&M Women's Weekend

In 2018-19, the W&M community celebrated 100 years of women at William & Mary. To commemorate this milestone, the university hosted the first-ever W&M Women’s Weekend September 21-23, 2018.

In events throughout campus including panel discussions, keynotes and an opening performance, over 500 alumnae, parents, family, staff, students and friends returned to campus to discuss big ideas, learn from one another and grow in the eight dimensions of wellness: emotional, environmental, financial, intellectual, professional, physical, social and spiritual.
