| Dear colleagues,
I am still feeling inspired by the creativity, insight, and collaboration that defined last week’s inaugural Art & Science Exchange (ASE) showcase events. Heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated, and special appreciation to Provost’s Faculty Fellow Omiyẹmi (Artisia) Green for her visionary leadership in bringing this new initiative to life. The interdisciplinary excellence on display was truly remarkable—congratulations to all involved!

Here are the top “5 Things to Know” this week:
|
-
If you plan to rent regalia through the W&M bookstore this graduation season, please be sure to complete the online form by the April 4th deadline.
-
The Spring Honors Research Symposium takes place this week on April 3-4, 2025. It’s a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the achievements of seniors completing honors theses.
-
The Daily Work of Justice is a conversation series that invites people directly involved in an issue to share their lived experience, as a way of providing space for others to engage with empathy, understanding, and action. On April 1, you’re invited to a Mental Health Conversation and Dinner from 6:30-8:30 p.m. in the Sadler Center, where you’ll have the chance to talk directly with individuals with mental health diagnoses, caretakers, health care providers like therapists and psychiatrists, advocates, and educators about their experiences.
-
Applications to two faculty retirement plans (the Faculty Voluntary Transition Plan and the Faculty Early Retirement Incentive Plan) open today, March 31st and close at 5 p.m. on Friday, May 16th. Eligible faculty will receive an email regarding these options. More information on both plans is available on the Faculty Affairs & Development website.
-
This week, in place of my usual shoutout, I want to recognize Professor Jody Allen as she prepares to conclude her role as the founding Robert Francis Engs Director of the “Lemon Project: A Journey of Reconciliation” at the end of the semester. Her visionary leadership, deep expertise, and years of dedicated service have profoundly shaped the Lemon Project and its impact across our community. While details about future leadership will be shared in due course, I invite you to join me in celebrating Professor Allen’s numerous contributions and in supporting her as she continues her important work as a member of our faculty, advancing scholarship and engagement in the years ahead.
