Dear W&M Class of 2021,
As promised, I am writing today with an important update regarding Commencement Weekend, which is scheduled to take place May 21-23, 2021. Representatives from across the university have spoken at length about the ways in which the Class of 2021 could safely gather together for this beloved tradition, even as the pandemic continues. We have determined that Commencement will be a hybrid celebration, with in-person traditions for degree candidates and virtual engagement opportunities for families, guests and any degree candidates who are not able to be in Williamsburg.
The following story originally appeared in the winter 2021 issue of the W&M Alumni Magazine. - Ed.
In 1934, the William & Mary Alumni Association first recognized graduates of the university with the Alumni Medallion for their professional accomplishments, leadership, dedication to the community and commitment to their alma mater.
The Alumni Medallion is the highest and most prestigious award the William & Mary Alumni Association can bestow on a graduate of William & Mary. This award recognizes individuals who have exemplary accomplishments in their professional life, service to the community, state or nation, and loyalty and commitment to William & Mary.
The winners will be recognized as part of the university s Charter Day celebrations in a virtual ceremony at 12:30 p.m. on Feb. 13.
