About W&M Women’s Weekend

In 2018, the inaugural W&M Women’s Weekend marked 100 years since the first female students stepped onto W&M’s campus. In 2021, the second Women’s Weekend looked forward to the next 100 years of W&M Women. This Sept. 12-14, Women’s Weekend returns to campus in a celebration of women as a flourishing and proud part of the university community.

The Road to Women’s Weekend 

To build momentum for this milestone event, the Road to Women’s Weekend launched in October 2024. Beginning in Charlottesville, Virginia, and winding through cities including San Francisco, Baltimore, Williamsburg and more, the Road included 15 stops in total that shined a spotlight on the expansive and inspiring endeavors of W&M women. Supported by the Society of 1918, W&M’s leadership and philanthropic society for women, these events brought over 1,000 people together. Read more about the Road to Women’s Weekend.
