Diversity in Admissions Program

At Hobart and William Smith Colleges we are committed to fostering a community that is open and inclusive for all students. We believe that that the student experience is enriched by having different perspectives and lived experiences within our community. As part of our commitment to diversity and access, we invite you to join us at our Diversity in Admissions Program on Saturday, December 3, 2016 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. to learn more about how students live and learn on our campus. While this program is open to everyone, we encourage first generation students as well as students from historically underrepresented groups, such as African-American/Black, Hispanic/Latino, Native American, and Asian American backgrounds to attend. In an effort to promote economic diversity, we also encourage students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds to attend.

Prospective students and their families will have the opportunity to hear from and interact with a variety of HWS community members including faculty, current students, and staff. A tour of campus, admissions interviews and the opportunity to speak with admissions staff will also be available. Tentative programming for the day is outlined below.
 
Preparing Students to Lead Lives of Consequence Panel: Hear from a faculty member and current students about the academic journey at HWS.
Student-to-Student Discussion: Students will participate in a discussion with current HWS students about the transition to college, how to get involved in clubs and activities, where students live and eat on campus and the resources that are available for support along the way.
Inclusion Panel for Families: Parents and families will learn about the institution's commitment to diversity and inclusion on our campus. Representatives from the Offices of Student Affairs, Admissions, Religious Life, Intercultural Affairs, and Diversity and Inclusion, along with current students and faculty will address support for underrepresented students and share efforts that promote diversity in both curricular and co-curricular spaces.
Resume and Outcomes Panel: Bob Murphy, Vice President of Admissions and Dean of Enrollment, will walk you through the resume building process at HWS and introduce you to students who have taken advantage of the resources available to land top internships, jobs and graduate school placements.
HWS Community Meet and Greet:  Prospective students and their families will have the opportunity to speak one-on-one with current students, faculty and staff from the areas across campus that interest them most. There will be representation from student clubs, organizations and theme houses along with staff from key offices across campus.

Registration is required prior to the event. Please contact the Office of Admissions at (315) 781-3622 or admissions@hws.edu to register or learn more about the program. You may also register yourself online. If you are not able to make it to campus for this event, please contact your admissions counselor to discuss other opportunities.

Thank you for your continued interest in Hobart and William Smith Colleges. We hope to see you on campus soon!

Sincerely,
