<p>William</a> & Mary - President's message on W&M and EVMS</p>

The College of William & Mary and Eastern Virginia Medical School have agreed to exclusively explore the feasibility of having EVMS become the William & Mary School of Medicine. Before a decision can be made by either W&M or EVMS, each must carefully investigate the implications of such a combination. It is not known how long the necessary due diligence will take. If W&M and EVMS decide to proceed, the approval of the General Assembly and Governor will be required.

<p>My two WM students think this would be great! My oldest is already a med student at EVMS and the other hopes to also get there. We would like to know more about the process and the how long it may take.</p>

<p>There aren’t specific answers to those questions just yet. Read the article soccerguy linked to. That’s the official news announcement from W&M and EVMS.</p>

<p>i’ve heard some speculation that it might happen pretty quickly… the theory being that this announcement wouldn’t come out if they weren’t pretty far along in the decision making process.</p>
