Further Together

There is no area of inquiry with greater potential to shift the course of the human experience.

Science at HWS is a primary component of the liberal arts education that cultivates skills of inquiry, analysis, synthesis and communication. Generations of students and faculty at HWS have explored the critical questions, both timeless and timely, that science presents. The creation of a state-of the-art integrated science center on campus will provide the physical facilities that allow for collaborations across disciplines and that match the sophistication of our curriculum.

Design of the Science Center is underway and renderings will be available soon.

Support for the Sciences

A new state-of the-art science building will provide interdisciplinary teaching and lab spaces that can accommodate students from across the science curriculum, as we also revitalize current spaces to create a center for the entire science curriculum. Properly equipped, Hobart and William Smith will be well positioned as a leader in STEM programming, attracting the brightest, most inquisitive prospective students and preparing them for lives of consequence through careers in the sciences.

Tackling the World’s Emerging Challenges

HWS scientists are path-breaking leaders in areas from watershed management practices to neuronal systems to migratory bird patterns to plant genomics to invasive-species studies. Together with faculty colleagues who bring scholarly interests in planetary systems, climate change, cognition, mindfulness, cancer, microbes, genetics and more, they form a community of scientists providing wide-ranging opportunities for students to hone research skills and participate in graduate-level experiences. Sustaining and enhancing these transformative opportunities calls for increased investment in the spaces, programs and people that fuel them.
