Description
The Faculty/Student Entertainment Funds at Williams College are designed to foster informal faculty-student engagement outside the classroom by providing financial support for faculty to share meals with students. Overseen by the Dean of the College, these funds aim to enhance the academic experience through meaningful interactions in relaxed, meal-based settings. The program supports meals both on and off campus, but strictly prohibits the use of funds for alcohol. This initiative is distinct from other college dining or entertainment programs.
