The Faculty/Student Entertainment Funds at Williams College are designed to help faculty foster academic engagement and mentorship by supporting the cost of hosting meals with students. Managed by the Dean of the College’s Office, these funds encourage meaningful faculty–student interaction outside formal class time, supporting gatherings centered on academic conversation, research, advising, or broader intellectual engagement. This program is distinct from other dining initiatives at the college, providing an additional resource specifically for academically focused meals.
