Graduates of the Last Decade (GOLD) is a group comprised of select volunteers from the ten most recent graduating classes. Serving as representatives of the young alumni and alumnae body and acting as liaisons between the Colleges and their classmates, the mission of the GOLD Committee is to establish, enhance, and maintain long-term relationships among young alumni and alumnae during their first ten years after graduation.
The committee channels the interests of this specific cohort into support for the overall advancement of the Colleges, while instilling a culture of life-long annual support of their alma maters. Higher participation in the Annual Fund by young alumni and alumnae directly benefits both current and future students and helps to continue the tradition of excellence at Hobart and William Smith Colleges.
Interested in becoming a GOLD volunteer? Contact Justin Johnston, Assistant Director of Reunion and Class Campaigns at johnston@hws.edu or (315) 781-4522
