We have space here only to summarize it. For most of its life, Williams understood itself as a “college on a hill.” Students withdrew here to contemplate higher things before heading back into the “real world.” The vocation of faculty was to pass on that knowledge, while staff supported the operation by managing the day-to-day. Over time, however, all of these lines blurred. The beginning may have come in the early 1960s, when students formed the Lehman Service Council to organize their projects in the local community. Two student-initiated programs, the Williamstown Youth Center and the Berkshire Food Project, still thrive. In the way that the student-formed Lyceum of Natural History, some of whose interactions with other cultures we now question, eventually led to the introduction of science into the curriculum, so too in time did the engagement seed germinated in the Lehman Council disperse widely through the college.

    Creating Connections Consortium

    3 Creating Connections Consortium A partnership to strengthen diversity and innovation through enhanced interactions between liberal arts colleges and research universities C Liberal arts colleges seeking to hire diverse faculty face unique challenges stemming from relative isolation and limited awareness about their enriching professional environment. Research universities face similar challenges in recruiting diverse graduate students because many liberal arts undergraduates lack exposure to and relationships with diverse faculty and thus do not envision lives in the professoriate. A growing body of scholarship documents that institutional transformation will be necessary for both liberal arts colleges and research universities to be able to attract and sustain a diverse group of students and faculty. To this end, under the leadership of Middlebury College, Connecticut College, and Williams College, the C3 Consortium has received a $4.7M three-year grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to enable the 26 member-schools of the Liberal Arts Diversity Officers Organization (LADO) to establish a formalized, reciprocal relationship with the University of California, Berkeley, and Columbia University. The grant will enable five strategies for developing diverse and talented candidates (students and faculty). 1. C3 Summit for Diversity and Innovation. Hosted annually by a different LADO college, the C3 Summit will bring together underrepresented students from LADO institutions - juniors and seniors - and about 20 doctoral candidates from

    NESCAC Votes Initiative

    11 Campuses Participate with ALL IN Challenge in NESCAC Votes Initiative The ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge is pleased to announce the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) Votes initiative, a collaboration with Amherst College (Mass.), Bates College (Maine), Bowdoin College (Maine), Colby College (Maine), Connecticut College, Hamilton College (N.Y.), Middlebury College (Vt.), Trinity College (Conn.), Tufts University (Mass.), Wesleyan University (Mass.), and Williams College (Mass.). The NESCAC Votes initiative seeks to fulfill a responsibility of higher education to graduate informed and civically engaged citizens and to advocate for a more inclusive democracy through increasing voter registration and turnout rates across all of our campuses and, in turn, the nation. NESCAC Votes aims to tackle the issue of low college student voter turnout by advancing nonpartisan civic learning and voter participation on each of the 11 campuses. Stakeholders from each of the campuses will participate in a series of conference calls and a summit designed to support collaboration, catalyze the adoption of promising practices, and develop common resources and means to advance student civic learning, political engagement, and informed voter participation. The initiative grew out of collaborations between staff at Middlebury College, Bowdoin College and the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge in summer 2018. It relies on groundbreaking research and analysis on college-student voting conducted by Tufts University’s Institute for Democracy & Higher Education. In March 2019, the NESCAC Votes Initiative was formally announced when President Clayton Rose of Bowdoin College and President Laurie Patton of Middlebury College jointly issued an invitation to the other NESCAC presidents to participate.

I earned my PhD at Cornell University in the Department of Microbiology in 2015. Currently I am a Visiting Assistant Professor of Biology at St. Lawrence University. Strengths I bring to this position include my enthusiasm and aptitude for teaching, a strong record of academic research in molecular microbial ecology, and my excitement for science outreach and service. I have a breadth of teaching experience, including as a teaching assistant and lead instructor for discussion and lab sections in General Microbiology at Cornell University. I also served as a TA for the world-renowned Microbial Diversity course at Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole. During this research-intensive course I instructed graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and professors in cutting-edge microbial ecological research projects. My recent teaching endeavors at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Sage College of Albany, and St. Lawrence University, have given me the opportunity to develop and implement new active learning activities, and assessment methods. I am excited about the opportunity to work in an environment that values and believes in high-quality undergraduate teaching and mentorship, with ample opportunities to involve students in research.
