The Office of Writing Programs provides programming that informs, enriches, and extends the experience of writing for the Williams College community. Through ongoing faculty workshops, consultations with faculty and departments, and oversight of the student Writing Workshop, our goal is to promote and support writing as a purposeful and organic extension of intellectual life at the the college.

We’re one of those crazy Williams marriage stories — despite taking a class together and living next door to one another on Hoxsey Street senior year, we never actually spoke to one another. We met at our 10-year reunion and got married in December 2005. We live in Burlington, Vt. Andrew’s a seventh-generation Vermonter; Betsy is a “Flatlander” from New York. In Vermont, where true natives still regard outsiders with skepticism, this constitutes a kind of “mixed marriage.” But we both love our relaxed, quirky, politically innovative state.
