Washington and Lee University
Meet with your initial faculty adviser at a time provided by your resident adviser. This is the time when you officially sign-up for fall classes.
This meeting is mandatory for any student receiving any form of need-based scholarship, grant, loan or work-study assistance.
Student-run campus governance is integral to student life at W&L. Governing bodies are empowered through the EC (Executive Committee), which gains its authority through the Board of Trustees. The EC also manages the University Honor System. The Student Judicial Council (SJC) enforces standards of civility and appropriate conduct that fall outside the Honor System. The Student-Faculty Hearing Board (SFHB) hears and judges cases dealing with sexual misconduct, discrimination or harassment involving W&L students. Students will also have an opportunity to hear from residential life leadership and Greek organization leadership. Men are required to wear coat and tie; women are required to wear skirt, slacks or a dress. Cellular telephones are inappropriate in Lee Chapel.
Your Big Brother or Big Sister will contact you about meeting for dinner. Don't worry if you haven't been contacted; there are surrogate Big Brothers and Big Sisters waiting to meet you in the BDG Quad.
Washington and Lee University is committed to equality of all persons, regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, ability, religious affiliation, gender or any other defining characteristic. Each and every one of you has something special to offer this community, so it is our earnest hope that you will teach one other. In order to be fully prepared for the "real world" you must be fully prepared to meet its people. To get you started, we have gathered a panel of W&L faculty members and students who will share their perspectives, experiences and knowledge.
