Three students laugh together while wearing eclipse viewing glasses and looking up at the sky; a white observatory can be seen behind them.

Williams students and members of the community gathered at Hopkins Observatory on April 8 to witness the solar eclipse at 96% totality. Thank you to the Astronomy department for hosting and providing eclipse glasses and solar telescope viewings! View more photos from the eclipse here.

Each summer, over 200 students receive grants through the Alumni Sponsored Internship Program to fund unpaid or low-paying internship experiences (learn more at the link in our bio). Jeffrey ‘26 spent last summer at a clinic founded by a Williams alum:

“I was grateful to be the Williams intern at the San Francisco Free Clinic. Nestled in the Richmond District of SF, this clinic is home to high-quality healthcare for uninsured people, helping patients not just from San Francisco, but from all over the world. Founded by Dr. Patricia Gibbs ‘82, the SFFC offers a multitude of services including diabetes management and psychiatry. I spent eight weeks rotating through the front office and back room. I handled administrative tasks such as answering patient phone calls, scheduling, and translating our patient intake forms and waivers into Mandarin, Mongolian, and Spanish for increased accessibility for our non-English speaking patients. In the back office, I was trained as a medical assistant: I checked patients in, took vitals like heart rate and blood pressure, performed venipuncture, and ran labs, such as urinalysis.

“I was also able to conduct a public health research project that sought to improve the rate of anxiety (GAD7) screening as per the USPSTF. I then updated and enhanced the clinic’s mental health resource referral guide with more information, like language accessibility, pricing, and quantity of organizations with an emphasis on undocumented and LGBTQ+ communities.”

Miranda ‘26 is taking over our instagram! She reflects on choosing Williams two years ago:

“My final college choice came down to Williams and a larger school in my hometown of NYC with an expansive core curriculum. I chose Williams for its academic flexibility and, perhaps more importantly, warm campus community – I’m grateful to be able to study a myriad of subjects and feel as supported as I do.”

Williams connections have a way of following you after graduation. Jason “Bum Shik” Kim ‘19 shares this meet-up with a professor and reflects on how Williams prepared him for his career:

“I spent my first years post-graduation working in shareholder activism defense. I’m now taking a career break, making the most of my free time traveling, writing, and attending Springsteen concerts, and lucky to be deciding between MBA programs and job offers.

“A liberal arts education prepared me in so many ways I couldn’t have imagined at work—learning how to learn, combining the qualitative and quantitative, recognizing when to step back and see the bigger picture of what I was doing. But Williams also prepared me to appreciate the good things in life—accepting and giving random acts of generosity, or recognizing and appreciating when you are surrounded by smart, nice people. The Williams community informs you (inspired by the words of Chief Justice John Roberts) on how to live a good life, not the good life.

“For example, just last month I got to meet up with Modern Iceland course professor, Magnús Bernharðsson, in Iceland. Here’s the two of us on the grounds of Bessastaðir surrounded by beautiful majestic mountains (which we greeted with song!).”
