William & Mary has launched a new campus walking tour that allows guests to explore the people, places and events in the university’s history. Developed by William & Mary’s Swem Library, TribeTrek is a free mobile app that puts the history of the nation’s second-oldest institution of higher learning in the palm of your hands. • The app, which can be downloaded for smart phones and tablets at the App Store or Google Play, shares the history of campus buildings, sculptures and other sites through photographs from the library’s archives. There are 74 sites currently included on the tour, with more to come, ranging from the Wren Building and the Sunken Garden to the Campus Center and Zable Stadium.
