Latinx Alumni of William & Mary (Latinx)
The W&M Latinx alumni group consists of alumni who self-identify as Latino, Latina, Latinx, Hispanic or Chicano who are working to create community at William & Mary. Latinx Alumni work closely with the Latin American Studies Program faculty, the Cuba Media Initiative, UndocuTribe, the Latin-American Student Union, the Hispanic Studies faculty and other Latin-American focused campus constituencies to actively engage with William & Mary.
A team of volunteer leaders from Latinx Alumni and other alumni groups convenes throughout the year for Leadership Circles — focused, action-oriented discussions on how to better serve alumni in these communities and encourage engagement, leadership and philanthropy.
Asian Centennial Celebration Events
William & Mary will celebrate the Asian Centennial commemorating the admission of Chen Pu-Kao '23, the first student from Asia, and celebrate 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 allows us to reflect on the onset of inclusion amidst the overwhelming exclusion of African Americans from matriculating in the university.

On-Demand Webinars
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.
