Strategic Learning for the 21st Century

William & Mary convenes great minds and hearts to meet the most pressing needs of our time. If our world ever needed what William & Mary has to offer, it is now. Yesterday’s answers won’t suffice.

We need new and broader ways of thinking and working. Together, we can transcend the traditional boundaries of academic scholarship and professional development to bring the best of William & Mary to a world that needs new and different answers for a new and different time.
