“I give to the Colleges for so many reasons. My four years at HWS were instrumental in making me the person and professional that I am today. I think fondly of my days at HWS and I give to support an institution that develops young adults to make an immediate impact in the world each and every day. There were the small class sizes that allowed us to grow our thoughts and develop our opinions. There were the supportive professors who became role models and mentors. There was the constant encouragement to study abroad that would lead to a sense of self in the world and the ability to see things through a global perspective. And ultimately, it was the strong liberal arts foundation that I rely on in my work every day. I give to support future students on their quest to maximize their potential in such a special and unique place as HWS.”
