Our community. YOUR VOICE MATTERS HERE. Your peers will come from different places and perspectives, and together you’ll make W&L your own. As a residential university, W&L allows students to live on campus for at least their first three years and build lasting friendships from their first days. Our Speaking Tradition encourages students, faculty and staff to greet each other on campus. It’s an honest display of the warmth and friendliness that is a hallmark of the university. Central to the W&L community is the studentrun Honor System. The nature of the Honor System and the way it is embraced by the entire campus builds a powerful culture of citizenship and responsibility. W&L’s Office of Inclusion and Engagement builds on the sense of community by fostering a culture for everyone to feel welcome and fully engage in W&L’s opportunities. The office develops programs that explore, promote and celebrate the increasingly diverse backgrounds of our students, faculty and staff. The Student Activities Office sponsors a variety of campus-wide events that create a fun and dynamic atmosphere. The Campus Unity Initiative, which is organized by students, includes everything from karaoke to speakers, movie nights to free food. Friday Underground encourages friendships through meaningful conversations over coffee and live music.
