William & Mary creates new transition program for veterans

The university said its W&M VET program will help veterans transition through areas of study that include business, law, and international affairs.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — William & Mary is launching a program that will prepare veterans for leadership roles in the civilian world. 

The university said in a statement Wednesday that its W&M VET program will help veterans transition through areas of study that include business, law, and international affairs. The school in Williamsburg will also help veterans and their families undergo a healthy change over into civilian life. 

Student veterans will receive support through a “buddy system” that connects them with peers and mentors who are experienced executives. 

The program is being launched with a $10 million gift from an anonymous alumna who is also a trustee of the William & Mary Foundation.
