At Williams
College events are publicized primarily through At Williams. At Williams is an online publication and is updated daily. If your event is listed in At Williams, it also will be submitted to local media events calendars (such as The Berkshire Eagle, The North Adams Transcript, The Advocate, and iBerkshires).
To be included, events must be open to the public beyond the college and meeting space must be confirmed (request space using the Room Scheduler).
To submit an event: At Williams Submission Form.
