Parents and Families

Meet the Parent Relations Staff

We are delighted to welcome parents into the Hobart and William Smith Colleges family. If you have questions or would like to become involved, please e-mail Kerry Cassell P'07, P'10, P'12, director of Parent Relations.

Parents Association
Hobart and William Smith Colleges have a long tradition of an active Parents Association. Our goal is to provide a way for the Colleges and parents to work together. We all share one thing in common: a vital interest in the welfare and education of our sons and daughters.

Parents Fund
The Parents Fund, a critical part of the Annual Fund, is a primary vehicle through which student' families support the extraordinary academic foundation that is Hobart and William Smith. Contributions to the Parents Fund are used to enhance the standard of excellence we expect for our students' academic experience.

Important Dates & Events
Parents and families play a special role in our community. Special events and programming create long-lasting memories for both students and families. Our goal is to keep you informed about Orientation, Parents and Family Weekend and Commencement, as well as other regional programming. The Family Weekend 2009 schedule is now available!

Prospective Families
Let the Hobart and William Smith Admissions Office help you navigate the information you need to know about sending your child to the Colleges. Then join us when your student enrolls in the Colleges.
