Sharing News

To notify Williams of alumni deaths or to share an obituary (or a link to an online obituary), please email hello.alumni@williams.edu or call the Alumni Engagement office at 413-597-4151.

Each class’s leadership is notified when the college receives word of a death in the class, and the class presidents share that news with the class as a whole. Many class secretaries also include mention of the classmate’s passing in Williams People.

Memorial Gifts
