Brought to you by the Office of Strategic Cultural Partnerships at William & Mary, 'One Question With...' is an opportunity to learn more about significant figures in society who visit us here at SCP. The conversation builds towards asking one question, which has been crafted by our team or members of our student body. This process seeks to humanize guests by presenting them in a three-dimensional way, beyond their accomplishments as a public figure or distinguished member of our community.
