I only looked at small liberal arts schools and Hobart stood out above all the others. The student body seemed to be extremely active and engaged, the faculty and curriculum were excellent and the campus was beautiful. What makes the Colleges special? The friendships that you make at HWS are incredible and the faculty is exceptional. The sense of community is tremendous, not only as a student on campus but as an alumnus. How do you stay connected to the Colleges? My wife, Julie Limbocker Flower ’99, and I have been on the host committee for several alumni/ae functions held in Portland over the last eight years or so. What are your goals as a Regional Network volunteer? To help provide more opportunities for local alums and parents of alums to gather with one another to share their experiences and to keep informed and connected to the Colleges.

Majors: Psychology, Women’s Studies and Religious Studies How do you stay connected to the Colleges? I follow William Smith Soccer (Go Herons!), I keep in contact with professors and friends from HWS, and I make use of resources available through the Salisbury Center for Career Services and Professional Development. I also stay connected by giving back to the Colleges through the Annual Fund and the Heron Society. What makes the Colleges special? At HWS, students have access to world-class scholarships, cutting-edge pedagogy, and meaningful relationships with professors who are invested in their students. Beyond the classroom, the Colleges are nationally recognized for study abroad programs and community engagement, and Hobart and William Smith athletics are some of the most competitive in Division III. Finally, the campus’ rolling hills and Seneca Lake view make for an absolutely gorgeous place to go to school. Why do you give back to HWS? I give back in gratitude and with the hope that my gifts will help current and future students enjoy the kind of opportunities I did while at HWS.
