Mission and Purpose

Overview

In light of growing national concern about sexual assault on college campuses, many Williams alumni have expressed interest in understanding what the college is doing to address the issue. At the same time, this is an area in which all involved are bound by legal and ethical requirements, including those involving confidentiality. The Executive Committee of the Society has convened a group of informed and interested alumni to assist the college in communicating with Williams alumni about this important matter.

Purpose

We aim to:

  1. Help the college engage with the alumni body in effective, ongoing, and timely communication about sexual assault prevention and response, facilitating conversation between alumni and the college and providing a forum for informed discussion.
  2. Offer our variety of expertise to those at the college working most closely with student groups on issues of sexual assault prevention and response
