HWS Diversity
Xiao Lin and Duy Nguyen
As of 2009, Hobart and William Smith colleges has around 2000 students on campus. Among those about 50 international students are from outside the US, representing at least 15 different countries. Within a campus with such small student population, one of our of every forty is an international students; it is quite a significant number. However, it seems that the international group is not widely recognized at the college.
The main goal of this project is to raise the awareness of the international group at HWS to the rest of the student body, so that people will come to appreciate how culturally diverse the HWS campus really is.

Facing the Divide
Bringing together faces of the HWS and Geneva communities
We have often heard HWS students talk about how there’s such a divide between our campus community and the community of Geneva that surrounds us. The two communities in many ways appear to be completely separate from one another, but if you take a closer look, are we really that different? In this project we hope to demonstrate that it’s possible to bring the two communities together.
