JOINS HECUA CONSORTIUM
-- Williams College (Williamstown, MA) has become the
sixteenth member of the HECUA consortium. For several
years, students from Williams have participated in HECUA
programs. Becoming a member of the consortium gives
faculty a more active voice in program decisions and
Williams students will receive an $800 discount on HECUA
semester programs overseas.
Founded
in 1793, Williams College is a private, liberal arts
college with approximately 2000 students. There are
three academic curricular divisions: humanities, sciences,
and social sciences with 24 departments and 31 majors.
The student faculty ratio is 9:1 and median class size
is 17.
Williams
is located about 145 miles from Boston, MA. In January
of 2001, Williams College partnered with HECUA for a
J-Term course, Experiencing Guatemala: Politics, Society,
and Culture at HECUA's Guatemala site.
Mark
Reinhardt, Assistant Professor of Political Science,
will serve as the first Williams representative on the
