Williams has a fantastic alumni network - one that is rivaled only by Dartmouth, Princeton, and Amherst. Williams is one of a few colleges that combines a strong undergraduate education, zealous alumni in every echelon of finance / art / law + government / medicine / academia, and great career placement. Further, Williams alums go to bat for their own, and are always back on campus recruiting for their hedge funds, investment banks, PE firms, etc.

To give an idea, Williams arranges career treks to Boston, New York, and Washington to visit different fields such as the venture capital / entrepreneurship world, Wall Street, policymaking and government, etc. During these trips, you can expect to meet roughly a hundred alumni, from entry-level analysts to managing directors to CEO’s and senators, all of whom are willing to take time to speak with you, arrange phone calls with or for you, and advise you along with your career.

Williams also has incredibly dedicated professors that help students with finding jobs, internships, and research positions for the summer. The professors at Williams are responsible for fomenting generations of alumni that have dominated various fields at rates that supersede their Ivy (Harvard, Yale, Princeton) counterparts. These fields include art history (Williams Art Mafia), finance (Williams was known as the “West Point of Wall Street”), and medicine.
