The New Lehman Funding Request Form · 370 days ago

From William Lee ’10:

“Hey guys,
I created a form that people in the future can use when requesting funding for events like the Ghost Trail or the Women’s Center speaker. It’s a different form from the Soc Entrep Grant, which is targeted towards individuals and not student orgs. “

To access the Lehman Funding Request Form for your group, please visit our information section.

Please sign our petition! · 417 days ago

Dear reader, fellow Eph:

You may not have read Laura Christianson and Janna Gordon’s article in the Record concerning the lack of support for community engagement at Williams College. As a member of the Lehman Council for Community Engagement, I ask you to please read their opinion and decide whether or not you would like to support our initiative and bring this to attention to the Williams College Board of Trustees.

If so, please sign our petition below by leaving your name and class year/role in the message section of this article.

“Dear Williams College Trustees:

We, members of the Williams College community, are concerned with the lack of institutional support for student involvement in public affairs and civic life. In order to provide a holistic liberal arts education, Williams College must encourage and streamline academic and extracurricular engagement with local, national, and global initiatives. We, as a College community must invest in preparing students to become active and knowledgeable citizens of the world.

Sincerely,
The Undersigned”

Thank you for your help!
