| Mission | |
| School mission: | Since Hobart's founding in 1822 and William Smith's founding in 1908, Hobart and William Smith Colleges have stayed true to its mission of providing a student-centered, residential learning environment, globally focused, and grounded in equity and service. Located on 188 acres on the shore of Seneca Lake in a setting of incomparable beauty, Hobart and William Smith enjoy a rich heritage based on a two-college coordinate system now unique in higher education. Through a challenging interdisciplinary, liberal arts curriculum, the Colleges prepare students to see the world in an intelligent way, to think both critically and logically, and to make astute connections. Professors are passionate, their teaching methods rigorous and expansive, and their commitment to education limitless. Faculty members cultivate rewarding intellectual, personal and creative partnerships with students allowing students to explore their unique interests and abilities. Students impress faculty with their intellectual curiosity, civic engagement and global understanding. In partnership with the Geneva and global communities and through robust programs in career development, study abroad, service, leadership and athletics, HWS foster an environment that values global citizenship, teamwork, ethics, inclusive excellence, social justice, and cultural competence. In all this work, Hobart and William Smith are bolstered by the dedication of its strong community of loyal alumni, alumnae, parents, faculty, staff, students and friends. We remain dedicated to educating young men and women to lead lives of consequence. We reaffirm our belief that knowledge results in positive change. We continue to be bound to the idea that the value of education is in its ability to spark hope. |
