Washington and Lee students enjoy talking about what makes W&L special: the "speaking tradition," our Honor System, small and interesting classes, faculty and staff who know students by name, the friends they know they'll have for a lifetime. Then they'll talk about all the things that interest them outside of class: concerts, sports, Greek life, student organizations, community service opportunities.

A Washington and Lee education extends far beyond the classroom, to a campus life which is vibrant and varied. From the moment that students set foot on campus as freshmen to the revelry and reminiscences of Senior Night, it's a full four years.

Student Affairs staff provide guidance and resources that support students in the development of intellectual and personal skills appropriate for leading and serving in a global society. Our programs and services reflect the importance of honor, the speaking tradition, harmonious relationships among students, faculty, and staff; personal and social responsibility and respect for the University. Additionally, programs promote active engagement in community, cooperative decision-making, creativity, multiculturalism, and physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness. We are committed to helping students grow as unique individuals and respect what is unique in others.

Announcements

• Mock Con
  Founded in 1908, the Washington and Lee Mock Convention is a completely student-run event that predicts the presidential nominee for the party currently out of the White House. After more than two years of planning and months of grassroots research in all 50 states and four U.S. territories, more than 1,600 current W&L students will try to live up to Mock Con's 92 percent accuracy rate. The students have been wrong only once since 1948. Mock Con runs Friday and Saturday, Jan. 25 and 26. Undergraduate classes are suspended on Friday, Jan. 25. More information will become available.
• Campus Activities
  The Office of Student Activities provides students with a variety of options which integrate life within and outside the classroom. Participation in co-curricular activities is a vital piece of the educational environment on campus and is considered an integral part of a student's personal growth and development. From student organizations to campus events, opportunities for involvement and enrichment are plentiful for Washington and Lee University students.
