Re-Echo
As part of your 50th Reunion celebration, the William & Mary Alumni Association will publish an edition of the Colonial Re-Echo. The Re-Echo is a yearbook that tells the story of our class at William & Mary and during the 50 years since graduation. There are just two questions for your submission: What’s your favorite W&M memory, and what have you been up to these last 50 years?
We can't wait to see your answers!
