Get Involved
Our philosophy is that leadership opportunities should be available for every student.

At The W, you will be able to develop your skills and shine!

Blues Week
Blues Week is your official welcome to The W. With a week full of events, you'll have an opportunity to meet new friends and connect you with the campus and community.
Mag Chain
Dating to the late 19th Century, the Magnolia Chain is one of our oldest and most cherished traditions. The white magnolia blossoms symbolize the purity of achievement, and the green leaves represent the growing experiences of the graduates over the past four years. Tradition holds that graduates who are able to walk away with a magnolia blossom or bud after the ceremony will have good fortune.
Music by Women Festival
This international music symposium brings hundreds of female composers and musicians to The W campus in March for three days of world-class music.
