“Now\u2026 to our new students, welcome, to our old students, welcome back! Another year full of magical education awaits you\u2026”<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

No one puts it better than Dumbledore. As summer comes to a close and classes begin, we\u2019d like to welcome all of you back to Williams – with a special shoutout to the Class of 2018! As we all settle in to classes, new dorm rooms, entries, and dining halls, we wanted to provide you with an update on the \u201cState of the Campus\u201d – in other words, what College Council and various student\/faculty\/staff committees have been up to.<\/p>\n

Four years ago, former College Council Co-Presidents Ifiok Inyang \u201911 and Emanuel Yekutiel \u201911 proposed that College Council update the student body on the state of Council\u2019s work on a regular basis. The tradition of periodic emails from Council Co-Presidents has continued ever since. However, though these emails were very informative and useful, there was no easily-distributed centralized summary of the information available. Furthermore, there\u2019s way more going on on campus than is released in any organized fashion that any of us could ever figure out alone. Therefore, last year, CC Co-Presidents Adrian Castro \u201914 and Max Heninger \u201814 introduced the Mid-Year Report.<\/p>\n
