Faculty and staff tributes

We welcome remembrances of faculty, coaches and staff who gave us the keys to our future: teaching us how to ask a question, challenge a fact, seek an answer, get things done. These are the men and women who changed our ways of thinking and observing, individuals who guided us long after we left their classrooms, labs, fields, courts and studios.

 

Happily, some are still among us. Others we only get to visit in the Williams College Cemetery, a campus resting place not hidden in a corner but nestled between two dorms, clearly underscoring the centrality of great teaching to the Williams experience and the Williams family.

 

To submit a faculty tribute, please contact the web team.
