Description
Unit Budgets at Williams College are internal funding mechanisms managed by individual academic units (such as departments) to support faculty-student engagement over meals. These budgets are designed to supplement college-wide programs, enabling faculty to foster meaningful academic interactions and informal conversations with students outside the classroom. Each unit determines the allocation, oversight, and disbursement of these funds, which are intended to enhance the educational experience by supporting activities beyond formal coursework.
