 Dear Parents
Here at William & Mary, we've slowly started creeping our way out of winter weather and into some spring sunshine. There are only a few weeks left in this semester, but there's a lot going on to keep our students busy. Of greatest concern for you and your student this month will doubtless be Commencement. Be sure to keep communicating with your student about the many emails they've been receiving from the administration with regards to this exciting time in their life. This issue contains helpful information on graduation, the ever-important job search, move-out, and more! Please browse below to catch up on what's been happening around campus. Kind regards,
Michael & Trisha Nelson
Co-Chairs of the Parent & Family Council
Parents of Cooper '16 & Shafer '19

The Job Search Process
| 
Has your student visited the Cohen Career Center? While some students may have a job offer in hand before graduation day, many will not, and that is not unusual. Looking for a job can be stressful and overwhelming, but we are here to help! The job search is a process and it can start with one step - scheduling an appointment with a career advisor. |

Residence Life

The 3rd Annual Mr. W&M Pageant was an amazing success. The event, sponsored and hosted by the Residence Hall Association, raised $800.00 for St. Jude. Congrats to our winner...Mr. Botetourt!
It's April, which means the Room Selection Process for the 2015-2016 academic year is underway. And with May just around the corner, it's not too early to begin thinking about moving out!

Senior Q&A: Study Abroad and the Job Search
|
 Study abroad is not only great for the intellect and the soul, but also for the job search! One of the Global Education Office's Peer Advisors is Thomas Obermeier '15, a senior from Frankfurt, Germany, majoring in Accounting with a business minor. We asked Thomas if his experiences studying abroad have had any impact on his plans for life after William & Mary. |

| Ewell Award honors 40 Graduating Students |
On Tuesday, April 21st, the W&M Community will gather for "An Evening of Excellence" - an annual event recognizing student achievement over the course of the past year. Many annual awards are celebrated at the event, but a highlight is the presentation of the Ewell Award which recognizes 40 graduating students who best exemplify a liberal arts education through their activities and academic studies. This award was named in honor of Benjamin Stoddert Ewell, the former president of the College of William & Mary, who by ringing the Wren Building bell kept the College alive when its doors closed during the Civil War. |
