Opportunities Abound
Take a moment to see what awaits you as a first-year student. Fun and challenging coursework, summer co-curricular opportunities, and pre-orientation week bonding with your classmates is around the corner.
The First-Year Experience
We've been thinking about your first day of school all year
The First-Year Experience is W&L's effort to introduce new students to campus, assisting students as they develop intellectually, emotionally, and socially. There is a direct connection here between what happens in the classroom and beyond.
The Leading Edge
Orientation Trips
From rock climbing to building a Habitat for Humanity home, for many students, The Leading Edge program is one of their best college memories. Choose from multiple program tracks, including Appalachian Adventure, Volunteer Venture, Archaeology, Freedom Ride, and Sustainability. Each will prepare you for an amazing experience as a First-Year student.
Research @ W&L
Even for First-Years
As a W&L student, you can apply for one of hundreds of research stipends to partner with a professor or undertake an independent research project, on-campus or further afield.
Global Learning
The World in Your Classroom
We educate students to be participants in a global and diverse society by engaging students through coursework, speaker series and cultural programs, and a vibrant and extensive study abroad program.
Campus Activities
More Than Just The Classroom
When you enroll at W&L, you join a vibrant, welcoming community. You and your peers will arrive with life experiences from many different places, and together, 你将W&L your own. Our campus is at the center of a small, vibrant, two-college town that offers students many opportunities to become involved in the community and travel around the world.
