“I believe that your money is like your vote: you have to put it toward what you really believe in. And I believe in William Smith College because my experience there changed my life in a very positive way. Professors saw something in me that I didn’t see in myself and made a huge impact on career - to work toward my Ph.D.! Without their vision and encouragement, all would have turned out very differently.”
