With the promotion of sustainable practices at the forefront of these grants, there were 22 projects awarded funding throughout the fall, spring, and summer application cycles.
Thanks to a cross-university team and the support of small, women- and minority-owned (SWaM) businesses, William & Mary was able to procure the items it needed to continue operating while also protecting the health of its community members.
