Created 2020

William & Mary alumnus, Joe Carlin '78, M.B.A. '80 created a tool to assist W&M alumni in negotiating the complexities of their identities. The Identity Matrix, as he so aptly named the exercise, is a great opportunity to uncover and reflect on how your identities have developed and will continue to develop over the course of your lifetime. Please watch Joe's short introductory video before completing the identity matrix at your leisure!

Immigrant Identities in Latinx Culture
Originally aired October 13, 2021
In recognition of Latinx Heritage Month 2021, which recognizes the achievements and contributions of Hispanic American champions who have inspired others, please join William & Mary alumni in a conversation about immigration through the lens of personal narratives and academic research. Within United States culture, the social construction of identities often determines the positive and negative experiences that people will have. Alumni panelists Dimelza Gonzales-Flores ’12, M.A.Ed. ’13 and Luis Navas ’82 shared their immigrant experiences alongside sociology professor Monika Gosin whose research specializes in immigrant incorporation into U.S. society. Alexandra Flores, a William & Mary instructor and research librarian, guided the panelists and the audience through a conversation about the construction, rejection and reclamation of immigrant identities.

Asian Centennial Celebration Events

William & Mary celebrated the Asian Centennial commemorating the admission of Chen Pu-Kao '23, the first student from Asia, and celebrated the contribution of the preceding generations of students of Asian, Pacific Islander and Middle Eastern descent during the 2021 - 2022 academic year. This auspicious milestone allowed us to reflect on the onset of inclusion amidst the overwhelming exclusion of African Americans from matriculating in the university.
