The Anniversary Story
24 Women Who Changed the University
In 2018-19, we celebrated the 100th Anniversary of the arrival of 24 young women as students at William & Mary. Some were daughters of local faculty members. Others came from as far away as Lynchburg, Roanoke, and the Eastern Shore. A few of them went on to become teachers; one became a doctor. We are proud to honor them all today.
