Media Highlights President Schapiro talks about The Williams Campaign Climb High, Climb Far Your Goal the Sky, Your Aim the Star. "Never content with conventional wisdom or a comfortable status quo, generations of Williams students have heeded this Hopkins Gate admonition and met the challenges of their times head on. Today, the imperative to climb to greater heights – to imagine and then claim the future – has never been more important. Never has a partnership among the College’s alumni, parents, and friends been more vitally needed – and primed for success – than here at Williams at the beginning of the 21st century." – Morty Schapiro, Williams' 16th President

The College has embraced a strategic plan that will strengthen all that we value most in a Williams education. Our aim is to nourish Williams as a community where students learn from faculty and each other in countless ways, both inside and outside the classroom. Fueling this crucial work will be the most ambitious campaign in Williams’ history: $400 million over five years to support bold curricular initiatives, hire additional professors, enhance student life, complete three major building projects, and extend our commitment to admitting talented students regardless of their ability to pay.
