Class Projects

Class of 1970 Global Research Institute (GRI) Summer Research Fellowship Endowment

Gifts made to the endowment shall be used to provide support for summer fellowships through William & Mary's Global Research Institute.

The Global Research Institute provides international experiential learning opportunities to W&M students. Past Summer Fellows have hailed from a variety of disciplines, including data science, government, biology, public policy and economics. Successful applicants are paired with W&M faculty and international organizations to conduct research and promote capacity building around the world. Past projects include: creating a dataset on Indonesian electoral outcomes, an evaluation of the Monrovia Football Academy, a white paper on applications of blockchain technology for Korean reunification through reforestation, a set of data governance policies for a new geospatial platform within a UN agency, and a randomized controlled trial on community policing and public trust in Colombia.

The Class of 1970 Swem Library Endowment Fund

The Class of 1970 Swem Library Endowment fund will provide for the most pressing needs of the Earl Gregg Swem Library, the main undergraduate research library for William & Mary. We anticipate allocating monies from the fund to the following three projects:

Digital Scholarship Lab

A collaboration between Swem Library and a group of faculty and students, the multidisciplinary digital scholarship lab on the first floor of Swem Library will have high-end equipment for computing; presentation and collaboration space for experiential learning; and access to people across schools and departments. President Rowe has called this future space a kitchen lab, where new techniques, data sets and applications can be explored and experimented with alongside library professionals, faculty and students.

Studio for Teaching & Learning Innovation

Located centrally on campus in Swem Library and serving all disciplines, the Studio for Teaching & Learning Innovation is a space dedicated to improving teaching and learning experiences for students. Meeting a need currently unmet on campus, the Studio consolidates faculty development efforts, bringing faculty together to generate innovative teaching practices, craft creative research projects and class assignments, and enhance course development. The Studio promotes the university’s values of collaboration and innovation, as well as its commitment to interdisciplinary work.

Q&A with Mark Hofer, Director of the Studio

Library Front Patio
To add beautiful, learning-centered spaces, Swem Library is planning a front porch that overlooks the Mary-Cooke Branch Munford Plaza, the green space that connects Swem Library to the forthcoming Arts Quarter and Integrated Science Center IV. This outside gathering space will provide an outdoors alternative for studying and meeting with classmates.

Class of 1966 Project: 1693 Scholarship

The Class of 1966 has the honor of creating an unparalleled opportunity for an exceptional William & Mary student: endowing a 1693 Scholar. By providing the resources to make this possible in perpetuity, our class will help William & Mary attract the very best incoming students and allow them to thrive at our truly remarkable alma mater.

Each 1693 Scholar receives priority in class scheduling, opportunities to meet campus speakers and other VIPs, and unique access to the Murray House, where fellow scholars meet, mingle and collaborate. In addition, the 1693 scholarship covers tuition at the in-state rate, fees, room and board annually — the equivalent of a full in-state scholarship or partial out-of-state scholarship. Every applicant to the College is considered for the 1693 Scholars program; currently 6-8 are selected each year.

With a $5,000 research stipend and close faculty-student mentorship and advising for four years, 1693 Scholars are uniquely positioned on the leading edge of William & Mary’s top-ranked undergraduate experience. With our help, we can make this unmatched opportunity possible for more of William & Mary’s finest applicants.

Goal: $1,000,000

Alumni House Expansion

As the sixth oldest alumni association in the nation, the William & Mary Alumni Association is focused on fostering the lifelong relationships and culture of engagement alumni have with their alma mater. By expanding the Alumni House, the Alumni Association will gain the much needed capacity to ensure that members of the class of 1966 and all alumni will have a warm and welcoming environment in which to renew friendships and forge new bonds when they return to their lifelong campus home.

In 1995 there were 53,000 alumni and that number has grown to over 93,000 today. It is estimated that by 2020 there will be 108,500 W&M alumni. Plans call for the addition of new meeting spaces, the largest with a capacity for up to 300 people; a business center; gathering spaces for visiting alumni; a catering area; and a new entrance with an expanded reception area to better accommodate our growing alumni body. The Alumni House also will support expanded programing for alumni, students and the William & Mary community. With new and larger spaces, the Alumni House will be a key location for starting the lifelong engagement with students while they are still on campus. The Alumni House will serve as the western gateway to campus and as a visible statement of the importance of alumni to the College.

Current plans estimate the cost of the project to be $13.5 million. In addition, the Alumni Association is seeking to establish a $2 million building maintenance endowment that will ensure the new facility stands in excellent condition to serve the William & Mary’s growing alumni community for the long term.

The Class of 1966 is taking a leadership role in helping to raise funds for the expansion of the Alumni House by designating it as the class’s 50th reunion project. In recognition of our class gift project, a prominent space in the expanded facility will carry the Class of 1966’s name. Please show your support for the expansion of the Alumni House in ways that others will hear the thunder of our chorus – alma mater hail!
