We Admit It! Day for Admitted Students (affectionately known as DFAS in our office) was an absolute blast. It’s always such a thrill to welcome our newly admitted students and their families to campus for a day full of celebration and Tribe Pride.

Our staff spends the fall and winter months meeting you on the road and learning more about you through your application. DFAS (as well as our myWM Monday programs) marks the moment when we are finally able to put a face with your impressive application, and congratulate you in person on being admitted to our freshman class.

To those of you who joined us this weekend, we hope that you got a sense for what it feels like to be a member of the William & Mary community. Mock lectures ranging from The German Dracula You Might Not Know to Of Viruses and Man. Sessions covering Career Services, Research, Community Engagement and countless other topics. An epically large activities fair. All of these events, along with everything else going on across campus this weekend, were meant to give you a sense of just how dynamic of a place William & Mary is.

Perhaps the best way to get a feel for a college or university is by talking to its people: faculty, staff, alumni and especially current students. You likely had the chance to meaningfully connect with several members of our community this past weekend.

Because we know that many of you were not able to join us this weekend, and because we hope that those who were able to join us are itching for more information about William & Mary, we would like to provide you with yet another opportunity to interact with our students.

This Thursday, April 21 from 7-8pm please join us for a Student Web Panel featuring four of our current William & Mary seniors. Our panelists are happy to answer any questions that you still may be pondering over. Curious about freshman dorms? Campus traditions? Clubs and organizations? How students spend their weekends? Post your questions in the comments section below, and our students will get to as many of them as possible on Thursday night. We’ll be bringing William & Mary to wherever you are, whether you’re at the kitchen table or in your bed eating ice cream.

We clearly think very highly of you, and want to do everything we can to help you as you make your final college choice. Join us on Thursday in order to gain additional insight into the William & Mary experience.
