W&M NDE Lab Videos for Prospective Students

We've recently recorded a number of videos talking about various projects in the W&M NDE Lab. They're typically less than a dozen minutes in length, and consist primarily of conversations about what we've been doing. You'll also find here links to related papers, books and dissertations where you can read more of the details for things that are of interest to you. Although we haven't edited these conversations other than cropping a bit and inserting some illustrative graphics and such, we tried to film them at a variety of places around campus so you can get a sense of where it is that we do our work. We've included LinkedIn links in each project so you can get a better idea of the career progressions of our students, something that we're very proud of.

Here are some old, but professionally produced, videos of a few of our projects back in the day: Science applied: A walk through the W&M lab; Meet the Innovators: John Swaddle & Mark Hinders; NASA Destination Tomorrow - DT2 - Ultrasonic Probe.

Here are some links to recent videos from W&M that give a sense of what it's like here at the Alma Mater of a Nation: William & Mary: A University for the Bold; The 2018-2019 Year In Review; 2019 Charter Day: Founded Looking Forward; W&M in 30: Homecoming 2018; W&M in :30 - 2019 Convocation; Opening Convocation 2019: The welcome walk; 2019 One Tribe One Day | Our Moments Connect Us As One; W&M in 30: 2019 Commencement; 2019 President's Report; An 18th-century tunnel: Draining the Wren; W&M in 30: Winter Wonderland; William and Mary by drone in 2015; For the Bold: The Campaign for William & Mary. W&M is immediately adjacent to the restored Colonial Williamsburg, so here are a few video links: WHAT'S NEW AT COLONIAL WILLIAMSBURG; Williamsburg Then and Now (no sound); Colonial Williamsburg From The Sky; TURN filmed at W&M; State designation of Werowocomoco as a protected easement. We also have long-standing ties with the NASA Langley Research Center in nearby Hampton, VA. Here you can find some of their Faces of Technology videos and here you can find Innovation Now videos produced by the National Institute of Aerospace and 2018 Honorary Degree recipient Katherine Johnson. Host of The Daily Show and W&M Alumnus Jon Stewart delivers the 2004 Commencement Address.
