Can’t make it to Friends and Family Weekend? No problem! For some, the time and expense to travel to Williamstown are too great. (And let’s face it: though Williams is a beautiful place, it’s far away from where most people live!). For others, there are special times in their students’ four years at Williams—from a special sports event or musical performance to Commencement—when a visit makes more sense.
And you can always stay in close touch with your student, even from a great distance. Phone calls, emails, and texts all work in their own ways. Students also love receiving old-fashioned mail, from a simple postcard featuring a hometown view to a small batch of homemade cookies (even if they crumble a bit along the way). You can send them through regular U.S. mail or via FedEx, UPS, DHL, or other non-USPS carriers.
Finally, rest assured that we’ll post video recordings of key Friends and Family Weekend programs shortly after the weekend.
With best wishes,
