Hobart and William Smith Colleges

Joanna Vinick '11

I give to HWS because it gave me a second chance at an amazing, fulfilling, inspiring and impactful college experience. I transferred from a large school where I found it nearly impossible to build connections with my professors and be intellectually stimulated by my peers. I found both, easily, at HWS and it gave me the environment and confidence to become a student leader and give back to the school that gave so much to me. I give as an alumna to continue that effort so that future students will be given the same opportunities that I was afforded.
