EXPLORING GENEVA AND THE FINGER LAKES
The Finger Lakes region boasts a growing tourist industry. Here are a few of the local destinations and attractions:
GENEVA & THE FINGER LAKES
Hobart and William Smith are located on a spectacular 195-acre campus along the northern tip of Seneca Lake in the City of Geneva. Seneca Lake, formed by receding glaciers during the most recent ice age, is the largest of the Finger Lakes, and the second deepest lake in all of New York State. Geneva, with a population of 13,300 residents, is just part of the 9,000-square-mile Finger Lakes region. The area is known for its natural splendor, more than 100 wineries and historic roles in both the women's rights movement and the Underground Railroad. This area is rich in history and natural beauty and serves as a remarkable living and learning environment for students, faculty and staff.

7 KEY RESOURCES STUDENTS
USE TO ENGAGE LOCALLY
AND BEYOND
Center for Community Engagement and Service Learning
The Center for Community Engagement and Service-Learning (CCESL) produces students who are civically engaged and graduates who are active, global citizens. CCESL's vision centers on a sustained, engaged relationship with the community through the Geneva Partnership, promoting positive community change and enhanced student learning.
The Finger Lakes Institute
Finger Lakes Institute (FLI) is dedicated to the promotion of environmental research and education about the Finger Lakes and surrounding environments. In collaboration with regional partners, and state and local officials, FLI fosters environmentally-sound development practices throughout the region, and disseminates that information to the public.
Geneva 2020
Geneva 2020 is an important effort to advance the Geneva schools and build a stronger community. By harnessing the resources of the entire community - non-profit organizations, businesses and individuals - we can provide assistance in three key areas identified by the Geneva City School District as being critical to the future of Geneva's children.
Salisbury Center for Career, Professional and Experiential Learning
At HWS, career planning isn't only for seniors. Instead, students begin exploring opportunities as early as the first year. Through a carefully planned career development program, students take advantage of thousands of available internships, externships, job shadowing opportunities and connecting with a vast network of alums, parents and friends of the Colleges.
Environmental Sustainability
With the Colleges situated on the edge of a small city, close to vast agricultural lands and along the shores of the deepest of the Finger Lakes, the opportunities for engagement are endless and act as micro-examples of issues beyond the region, providing a global element essential to addressing the complex environmental issues of today.
Community-Based Research and Service-Learning
At HWS, community-based research and service-learning courses are held across disciplines and range from tutoring, child care, and preparing meals to developing and administering evaluation surveys for a local agency, designing the space for the local teen center or researching how gender affects the learning of students in Geneva.
Centennial Center for Leadership
With focus on leadership development, entrepreneurial leadership, global leadership and community leadership, the Centennial Center for Leadership (CCL) enables students to become leaders across areas of interest. At CCL, students achieve their goals across a variety of individualized paths.
