On September 21, 2006, Hobart and William Smith launched the public phase of the most ambitious fundraising effort in our history—Campaign for the Colleges. This $160 million capital campaign will build upon the extraordinary accomplishments we have made over the past five years, many of which responded to needs and opportunities identified in our strategic plan HWS2005, to secure the Colleges’ gains and ensure Hobart and William Smith a place among the nation’s leading liberal arts institutions.

Our objectives for this campaign, which you will find outlined in the pages of this campaign web site, will enable us to achieve the ambitious goals shaped by our new strategic plan, HWS2010.  At its core, this plan underwrites the quality of the academic experience by providing students and faculty with programs and facilities on a par with the best to be found anywhere.
