Whether you are a former Eph athlete or parent of a current athlete, our new newsletter offers a look at Williams athletics you won’t find in box scores or standings.
Like everything at Williams, our athletics program exists to provide students with experiences that will develop their capacities and enrich their lives. Through athletics we strive to teach teamwork, the value of hard work and delayed gratification, and the responsibility inherent in wearing the Williams uniform. We succeed when our graduates apply these lessons throughout their lives.
Alumni of every generation recall most vividly their relationships with teammates and coaches. With more than one of every three Williams undergraduates playing on one of our 32 varsity teams (16 each for women and men), the range of our offerings reflects our belief that the benefits of physical activity and competition accrue to participants at every level.
Providing such a comprehensive athletic program is made possible in part through generous Alumni Fund and Parents Fund gifts. Whether you are a former player who represented our college in competition or a parent who’s cheering on today’s Ephs, you are warmly invited to read the stories in this newsletter and learn about ways to support these experiences for today’s Ephs.
Go Ephs,
Lisa Melendy
Athletic Director
