Empowering Military Spouses: Navigating Careers, Community, and Transition: From New Spouse to Veteran Spouse
We invite you to join us for a groundbreaking symposium dedicated to supporting military spouses at every stage of their journey. Hosted by William & Mary Military & Veteran Affairs in-person event is designed to provide valuable tools, resources, and connections—from navigating life as a new military spouse, to supporting your family through transition, and thriving as a veteran spouse.
This event is the first of its kind in the region, bringing together nationally recognized speakers, career development experts, and organizations that champion military spouses. Whether you are just beginning your journey, facing new challenges, or building your next chapter, you’ll find practical support, community, and inspiration.
Why Attend?
- Expert-led workshops on career, financial wellness, entrepreneurship, and more
- Practical strategies for balancing family, career, and personal growth
- Panel discussions with military-connected leaders
- Networking opportunities and a resource fair
- Access to William & Mary’s Military & Veteran Affairs support after the event
