At Hobart and William Smith, we strive to create a just and inclusive environment where all students, faculty and staff are valued and respected. We believe that diversity in identity and perspective enriches our community and prepares us all to lead lives of consequence. We recognize that historical practices and policies have privileged certain groups while excluding others from institutions of higher education, and thus the work of diversity at HWS seeks to account for those inequities by promoting college access and working to ensure that every member of the HWS community has an equal opportunity to thrive. Therefore, in keeping with our traditions and in support of our commitment to the Hobart and William Smith Strategic Diversity Plan, we are actively dedicated to attracting and supporting faculty and staff comprised of talented individuals, who fully represent the racial, ethnic and cultural diversity of the nation and actively seek applications from under-represented groups. HWS does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, marital status, national origin, age, disability, veteran's status, or sexual orientation or any other protected status.
