Melanie Sage '95
Current Position:
Director of Alumni Relations, The Williston Northampton School
I'm from Geneva, so there is that strong connection of geography, but what I really love and value most about Hobart and William Smith are the strong relationships with faculty that students are able to build, in and out of the classroom. Connecting with my professors, by being able to ask questions of them directly and probe ideas with them one-on-one or in a group setting, made me a better student, and a more inquisitive and patient person. I was on full financial aid at Hobart and William Smith, and I know that the generosity of HWS graduates who came before me made it possible for me to attend. I feel a real obligation to pay it forward for current and future students.
