Launchpad: Success Beyond Williams
Williams alumni go on to successful careers in law, education, medicine, the arts and so much more, and they attribute their success to the experiences they had and the connections they made during their four years here.
Gretchen Howard ’95 can attest to that: After Williams, she worked as a technology consultant and attended the Harvard Business School before becoming the COO of Robinhood. Read more of Gretchen’s story and learn why she thinks Williams graduates are the best job candidates.
Alumni Spotlight
Jaelon Moaney ’19 and Mandela Namaste ’19 met in a seminar class on The Politics of Belonging their senior year. They came with a shared curiosity about their personal histories; they left with a friendship. Jaelon is now the manager of federal relations for the American Institute of Architects, while Mandela is a freelance journalist and aspiring screenwriter. Here, they talk about their paths to, through and beyond Williams.
Student Spotlight
In the introductory course Oceanography, Vanya Funez ’26 and her classmates spent the semester studying topics including the archive of Earth’s history contained in seafloor sediments, the transfer of energy and matter in ocean food webs, and how ocean basins are created and destroyed. A highlight was exploring the shores of Connecticut and Rhode Island during a day-long trip facilitated by the Williams-Mystic Program, where hands-on research and guest speakers brought to life the concepts they learned in the classroom.

The Davis Center Block Party Tuesday night🔥🌮💃🏽🐮💜💛. Prospective students, we love being able to share glimpses of this incredible community with you!
The ‘68 Center for Career Exploration connects students to opportunities in so many ways. This morning there was a Williams Recruiting for Equity & Inclusion Meetup, allowing underrepresented students to connect with organizations that are specifically considering DEI in their recruitment efforts. This afternoon was the Fall Job & Internship Fair, with more than 50 organizations represented. Over 500 students came through to meet with employers, get their headshots taken for free, and more!
The first classes of the year are in the books, and the first full week of the semester is here! Campus has returned to its usual rhythms 📚🎒
It`s been a busy end of summer for new Ephs. #Williams2027 has now moved onto campus, completed an Ephventure (an orientation trip that allows students to explore different facets of the Williams community), and tackled several first-year orientation events, including musical bingo with all of us in the Office of Admission and Student Financial Services!
As our upperclassmen arrive to the purple valley, we are enjoying seeing the whole community together before classes start 💜
