Coming Soon...

Sure, Winter Break is awesome, but AMP's got some some tricks up its sleeve that will make you WANT to be back at school come January...

The Contemporary and Cultural Issues Committee has been busy trying to bring you a great lineup of events for the Spring semester. Here are some things that are in the works...

- To Write Love On Her Arms/Jamie Tworkowski
"To Write Love On Her Arms is a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide. TWLOHA exists to encourage, inform, inspire, and also to invest directly in treatment and recovery."

Jamie Tworkowski- the founder of this ground-breaking movement/cultural phenomenon will be paying a visit to W&M in February to share his story, visit with W&M students, and let you know how you can get involved.


-Boondock Saints College Tour!!
This one is still in the works, but if all goes according to plan, the writer, director, producer and stars of this cult classic film will be headed to Williamsburg in the Spring. We will keep you posted as things progress- but we are very hopeful that this will work out.

In the meantime, to get yourself ready- try and catch the new sequel, "Boondock Saints 2: All Saints Day." in theaters now!

Lodge 1 Coffee House
Come spend a cozy afternoon in Lodge 1, and enjoy coffee and pastries while listening to a guest poet perform.

Performer TBA- we have some great prospective poets we are thinking about booking, but we also welcome any suggestions! We are also hoping to incorporate a student performance portion... more details to follow.


The Blind Boys of Alabama... Coming to Williamsburg!
This year, several of the AMP committees are teaming up with the 3rd Annual W&M Global Film Festival. In honor of this years theme, "Film & Music" we are helping bring you a very special concert by the Blind Boys of Alabama. The performance will be in conjunction with a screening of the documentary film Soundtrack for a Revolution, which tells the story of the music of the Civil Rights Movement (The Blind Boys were contributors on the soundtrack!!)

Well, there you have it... at least 4 reasons to prove why the spring semester is something to look forward to... and there's much more where that came from!

Keep an eye out on the AMP site for more updates on these events. And in the meantime, have a very Merry Christmakwanzika!
