Welcome to the City

Have you recently graduated or moved to a different city? Are you looking to meet your fellow young alumni and stay connected with the W&M community? Join us for Welcome to the City events.

Welcome to the City is a series of events focused on fostering connections and transitioning from student to alumni for W&M Young Guarde (Classes of 2016-2025). 

We also have content and resources designed to help you adjust to life after W&M, connect you with other young alumni and strengthen your ties with W&M, wherever you are, for all time coming!
