Williams Offers College Counseling to Alumni Children
From June 1 through October 31, 2008, sons and daughters of alumni who have completed their high school junior year or are high school seniors may arrange an appointment with a senior Williams admission officer to discuss the college application process. Admission officers will discuss finding "best fits," fine-tuning the application itself, and exploring a variety of college options. To schedule, call the Office of Admission at 413-597-2214. IMPORTANT NOTE FOR STUDENTS: Be sure to identify yourself as an alumni daughter or son. When you visit Williams, bring a copy of your most recent (unofficial is OK) transcript and any test scores. If you visit during the academic year before Thanksgiving, plan to join a campus tour, attend a group information session, and attend classes.
