Welcome to the community of Williams families.
As the father of three recent Williams graduates, I’ve witnessed from a front-row seat the intellectual and personal growth that transforms young adults at this extraordinary college.
And I’ve learned that we have a hugely important role to play in our students’ college experience. After all, we know them—and they know us—better than anyone.
As they have all their lives, our students may naturally come to us first for help at Williams. (“I got a C on my first paper!” “My roommate sleeps with all the lights on!”) Our own first response may be to “fix it.”

Again, welcome to the Williams community. We’re delighted to have your student—and you—join us.
