Campaign celebrates diversity
APRIL 2010 :: The College celebrated diversity with the “I am William & Mary” campaign, organized by Student Assembly Diversity Initiatives with collaboration from a number of individuals and campus organizations. Through a variety of activities and discussions, mem-
bers of the community were invited to explore the personal stories and identities that define the culture of the Tribe. Events were held on campus throughout the week, culminat- ing in a “state of diversity” forum on April 19. The forum, “Identity Crisis? 2010 State of Diversity Forum at William & Mary,” featured a panel discussion concerning various aspects of difference on campus.
President Reveley’s contract renewed — In May, the College’s Board of Visitors unanimously approved a resolution extending the contract of President Taylor Reveley — who has served as the university’s 27th president since Septem- ber 2008 — through June 2013.

III and Queen Mary II of Eng- land, namesakes of the College, celebrated their coronation day April 11, 1689. It was just four years later that they chartered a “certain place of universal study” that was “called and denominated forever, the College of William & Mary.” In celebration of this auspicious day, the entire College community — its members from across the campus, Commonwealth and globe — was encouraged to show their green and gold spirit. The tradition kicked off the week leading up to Admitted Students Day — April 17 — when those selected for the upcoming freshman class were hosted on campus. Alumni chapters across the country hosted special Coronation Day events for students admitted from their respective areas.
