New kids on the block

Late yesterday afternoon, the Williamsburg Police and Fire Departments co-sponsored a block party for the College of William and Mary. In an attempt to welcome new and returning students to campus, the residents of Nelson Avenue invited the students, faculty and staff out to a barbeque block party. Former Vice President of Student Affairs Sam Sadler, and newly appointed President Taylor Reveley both made appearances at the event, mingling with students, officers and residents. Residents will host another block party this evening from 5 to 7 p.m. on Wythe Lane.
