Parent & Family Orientation
Join us August 24!
Welcome to the family! This is an exciting time and we are preparing now for your arrival in August. William & Mary views our relationship with you and your student as a partnership. Through this partnership, we seek to create the optimal support system for every student. Our relationship begins at Parent & Family Orientation where you will gain helpful information to support your student during the critical first year.
Registration
Registration for the 2024 Parent & Family Orientation is now open. Please do not register your students for Parent & Family Orientation. Students are required to participate in their own New Student Orientation upon move-in to campus.
Schedule
Parent & Family Orientation will begin the morning of Saturday, August 24 and end late afternoon.
We invite you to review the 2024 Parent & Family Draft Orientation Schedule to better understand timing of events and presentation topics offered throughout the weekend. We also recommend that students and families discuss their "see you later" plan prior to move-in so all are prepared to part once all orientation activities begin.
Some Parent & Family Orientation presentations will be recorded and posted by Parent & Family Programs for those unable to join us in-person in Williamsburg.
