The WILL program organizes and hosts events that bring together WILL alumnae and WILL students. These events not only benefit current students, who witness and hold discussions with successful role models, but also alumnae, who often feel energized and motivated by the experience of meeting with and advising young women.
Each semester, an informal lunch takes place during which a WILL alumna talks with current students about how WILL has influenced her life after graduation. Also each year, a WILL Reunion is held during Homecoming Weekend.
Contact Dr. Melissa Ooten, associate director of WILL, at (804) 289-8840, if you are interested in participating in any of these events and/or to suggest ways in which alumnae can connect with the WILL program.
