Celebrate the holiday season with fellow William & Mary South Hampton Roads alumni, parents, family and friends at our Yule Log ceremony! This campus tradition dates to the 1930s, and as we cast our holly and woes into the fire, we prepare for a great new year. Join us for Yule Log festivities in Virginia Beach at the home of former William & Mary Rector John E. Littel P ’22 and Marianne Littel P ’22. Kathleen T. Jabs, special assistant to the president for military and veterans affairs at William & Mary, will be a featured guest at this event. This event is free to attend, and hors d’oeuvres and beverages will be provided. We will be doing the Yule Log ceremony outside by a fire pit, so please dress appropriately.
