Good GrEPH! Winter Carnival is back this Feb 17th-19th!

Get excited for the most anticipated event of the season: Winter Carnival! A three day wintery outdoors-focused extravaganza featuring plenty of skiing, snowboarding, sledding, snowshoeing, snowballs fights, contests, performances, food, and more! Tell all your friends, get excited, and check the WOC-ly Calendar and @wocstagram on instagram for updates!

Winter Carnival Needs You!!!!!!! Are you an artist? Do you love spreading joy around campus? We are looking for someone to design this year’s Winter Carnival button/sticker art. The art will have to be completed ASAP. The chosen artist will win a WOC t-shirt or gift card (and of course, the glory of having designed the Winter Carnival button) as the prize! If you are at all interested, email [log in to unmask], ASAP for more details! We’d love to see your art :)

Work as a camp counselor this summer in beautiful Maine! Friends Camp, a small overnight Quaker summer camp in South China, Maine, is currently hiring for this summer! The camp is directed by a Williams alum, Anna Hopkins Buller and has had a wonderful handful of Williams staff members over the years, including Joanie Cha ,WOC board member.. A summer spent as a camp counselor leads to better life and work experience than almost any internship. They pay $315/ week for first-year staff, plus travel stipends for those who need it and additional pay for lifeguards. Check out their instagram or website for questions.
