WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — Earlier this month, William & Mary hosted a group of active duty and veteran military members for an academic crash course.
The program is part of the Warrior Scholar Project, which offers a one-to-two week educational boot camp that serves as an introduction to the college setting. More than 2,000 active duty military and veterans have already been through the nationwide program’s array of boot camps and workshops since it began in 2012.
From June 4-9, a group of eight students participated in a humanities boot camp, staying on campus for a week while learning from William & Mary professors, who covered everything from essay writing to the Federalist Papers.
