| Dear colleagues,
I am feeling truly uplifted after spending time with our W&M community throughout this year’s Homecoming & Reunion Weekend (and celebrating a football win)! Thank you for attending events, supporting student initiatives, and welcoming alumni back to campus. You made the weekend special. It was a powerful reminder of the lasting impact faculty have both in and out of the classroom.

As shared earlier today, you are invited to submit proposals for two original sculptures to be permanently displayed in the Provost’s Office. This initiative, in partnership with the Art & Science Exchange, highlights the intersection of creativity, scholarship, and leadership at William & Mary. Proposals are due November 10. I look forward to experiencing your artistry and ingenuity.

This week’s shoutout goes to the Raymond A. Mason School of Business. Their award-winning podcast, “Leadership & Business,” reached a milestone this month when its 250th episode was posted. Each episode in the podcast series, celebrating its 10th anniversary, features a 15-minute conversation with a CEO, leader, or subject matter expert from around the world. Take a listen!
