Description
Academic Unit Budgets at Williams College are internal funds administered by individual academic units (departments or programs) to support faculty in hosting students for informal gatherings, such as meals, that foster academic engagement outside of formal coursework. Unlike college-wide programs, these budgets are entirely controlled at the unit level, allowing departments to set their own criteria, funding limits, and documentation requirements. The primary goal is to strengthen faculty-student relationships and promote learning beyond the classroom setting.
