Many students who followed unconventional paths during the 2020-2021 academic year have returned to campus for in-person classes. The Record spoke with seven of these students, whose stories are full of excitement, reflection, and a sense of belonging to a Williams community.
For many faculty members at the College, friendships with coworkers arise naturally, in shared office hallways or weekly department meetings. There are other duos, however, whose connections overcome departmental divides. To get the real scoop on professorial pals, the Record sat down with three pairs.
Leslie Milton’s homegrown bakery business, GoodNight Kitchen, is run out of her own home and delivers baked goods to students at the College. After struggling through the pandemic, GoodNight Kitchen is now functioning at an all-time high.
Perhaps most unexpected on the list of famous individuals at the College are social media influencers. The Record spoke with Alicia Blanco ’21.5, Yeldana Talgatkyzy ’25, and Aylen Park ’23 to learn more about how their experiences with internet fame intersect with their experiences at the College.
The College’s libraries are home to 768,252 books, according to the College’s website. Several hundred of these books are tucked away in a dimly lit room in Spencer House, offering a look into College life from the distant past to the present.
This week, the computer (using a script in R) chose Tajis Lyn ’25, who talked about his family’s farm, playing on an intramural soccer team, and competing in “Super Smash Bros” tournaments.
“This Week in Williams History” is a column dedicated to looking back at memorable moments in the College’s past through articles in the Record. This week in history, the College dealt with an act of arson in the Mission parking lot, celebrated National Coming Out Week, and cleaned up a series of bio-crimes.
Science Quad is a maze of hallways, labs, staircases, and classrooms. Perhaps this convoluted labyrinth is one of the reasons that the greenhouse nestled three floors above the ground at the back of the Morley Science Labs is virtually unknown to students.
Last Friday, the College rang in October by celebrating Mountain Day. The Williams Outing Club provided statistics on what went down during the festivities.
