Welcome to the City

Whether you’ve just unpacked your boxes or have been here a while, it’s time to connect, celebrate and explore your city with members of the William & Mary community. Join us for Welcome to the City, a series of events designed specifically for the Young Guarde to help you build relationships, explore local resources and thrive in post-grad life. It’s people who make William & Mary special, and we want to help you stay connected to the W&M community wherever you are.

From architectural cruises in Chicago and bowling in Boston to coffee shop connections in Williamsburg, this is your chance to meet fellow young alumni and build your local network.
