Crim Dell Association Homecoming Kick Off
Friday, October 23, 2026 | 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm
TBD
Kick off your Homecoming weekend by reconnecting, reflecting and celebrating with the Crim Dell Association. Alumni, students, faculty and staff are invited to gather for a vibrant exchange focused on the experiences, history and enduring impact of the LGBTQIA+ community at William & Mary.This year’s reception is especially meaningful as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Crim Dell Association (formerly GALA), founded in 1986. For four decades, the organization has fostered connection, advocacy and pride within the W&M LGBTQIA+ community, and this milestone year offers a powerful opportunity to honor that legacy.
The program will feature a lively and dynamic conversation exploring what it means to live, learn and thrive at W&M as part of the LGBTQIA+ community — past and present. Attendees will enjoy an illuminating talk highlighting the rich history of advocacy, resilience and contributions that have shaped campus culture over the years. From meaningful milestones to personal stories, the program offers both reflection and inspiration. Don’t let the celebration stop here — this gathering leads directly into the Mosaic Reception immediately following.
