Six months after their graduation, most members of the Class of 2022 report that they’re employed full time or in graduate school and are happy with what they’re doing—and Williams helped get them there. The information comes from the most recent Class of ’68 Center for Career Exploration’s First Destinations survey and is based on answers from nearly 80 percent of the class, as of January 2023.

“We were blown away by this year’s results,” says Don Kjelleren, executive director of the ’68 Center. “They speak volumes to the viability of a Williams liberal arts degree in today’s world.”
