I am writing this column on the heels of a gloriously packed Traditions Weekend.
By 2026, W&M will invest in four key areas where the university already has deep strengths
With each generation, W&M has graduated leaders who have served our nation and sought to perfect our democracy. As the Chancellor reminds us at Commencement, this “is the oldest and greatest tradition of this ancient institution, this Alma Mater of the Nation.”
Pride in our resilience, pride in our ability to adapt: These are inspirations for William & Mary’s new strategic plan
William & Mary has a long history of innovation, evolving to meet the pressing needs of our commonwealth and country
A century ago, Pu-Kao Chen 1923, a student from Shanghai, China, enrolled at William & Mary.
William & Mary became change ready in this year of necessity
As I write this column, William & Mary is wrapping up a remarkable fall semester.
When confronted with overwhelming challenges, our only option is to respond with our authentic selves.
I begin this column with a reflection on writing. At William & Mary, words matter as a medium for shared understanding. We earn that understanding via conversation, deliberation and revision.
In August, W&M will launch an intensive period of strategic planning. Together, we will continue to restock our test kitchen: with both well-tested and true techniques and new ones.
William & Mary's 326-year history is impressive. Through wars and depredations, William & Mary has risen to national recognition as a premier institution of higher education.
I have been keenly aware of the debt I owe those who came before me, particularly those who shaped William & Mary’s early success and those in more recent times who laid the foundation to restore the university’s preeminence.
