W&M Whole of Government Center of Excellence

The William & Mary Whole of Government Center of Excellence provides mid-career public policy professionals and military officers in federal, state, and local agencies practical training on interagency collaboration, complex national security and other public policy problems. The Center also brings together leaders from all levels of government and the military for symposia, discussions, and projects to promote creative, collaborative research and solutions to emerging issues. The Whole of Government Center of Excellence began as the number one recommendation from the VA Commission on Military Installations and Defense Activities’ "Growing the Military Mission in the Commonwealth” in May 2015. William & Mary has a well-earned reputation as a military-friendly university, with deep experience in partnering with military facilities in our region and beyond. We’ve been training global leaders since our founding in 1693.
