Do you love your alma mater?

I really enjoyed my time at Williams, got a great education, met some really interesting people and friends. I didn’t major in art history while there but took enough classes that I was able to get a full tuition fellowship for a masters in art history elsewhere. I am pretty convinced that happened because of Williams reputation in the field. I have also been hired for at least two jobs due in part to Williams being on my resume (interviewers commented on that). It’s always fun to talk to other alums who turn up around the world (and typically if someone has on Williams gear they have some real connection). I have donated relatively modest amounts pretty much every year and continue to do so. I will admit however that my D’s rejection by Williams in 2013 took some of the luster off my feelings for the college. I know it’s not rational but that’s how I feel.
