It’s been about one year since we launched W&M on Flickr. While I’ve managed the Flickr site on a daily basis I’ve had a great deal of help in the form of ideas, volunteer labor, and (of course) photos. One of my main goals for the W&M Flickr site is showing the campus having fun.

In the last year:
- We’ve uploaded 503 photos and received tens of thousands of unique views
- We covered Convocation, Homecoming and the Miller Hall dedication live (via Twitter and Flickr)
- This fall we used Flickr for a very popular “Fall Photo Contest” (coordinated by Jesse Windley with help from Cindy Baker and many others)
- We’ve started a feature called “Where at W&M?” using Flickr and Facebook
- We take photo submissions from the W&M community via this page
For those curious, here are a few more cool Flickr things you can dig into:
