Announcements:

Hopkins Forest Maple Jug Design Contest…  There's still time showcase your artistic talents and submit your design for new Hopkins Forest maple syrup jug labels. Designs should be adaptable to plastic jugs of 8, 16  and 32 ounces; should depict some aspect of the maple sugaring process; and should be distinctly Hopkins Forest in character.  

A prize will be awarded to the winner. Deadline for submissions: May 25th. Send to:[log in to unmask].

A new WOOLF initiative!   WOOLF is piloting a new gear lending system in an effort to make the program a more accessible experience for all interested students; traditionally, leaders have been required to purchase or otherwise find their own gear for WOOLF orientation trips in late August/early September. We are 100% committed to making outdoor recreation at Williams as accessible as possible for all regardless of class, race, gender, ability, etc. To that end, if you have back packs, sleeping bags/pads, and/or hiking boots that you're willing to lend to a leader, please fill out this this survey. More information on the initiative can be found there. Thanks in advance for your consideration. Please feel free to email [log in to unmask] with any questions!

Found a WOC headlamp or sleeping bag under your bed while getting ready to pack?  Please bring it or any other WOC equipment you come across to the WOC Equipment Room.  NO QUESTIONS ASKED - WE JUST WANT IT BACK!
