Heritage Programming

The Davis Center has long served as the main conduit for Heritage Programming at Williams College. By collaborating closely with our faculty, staff and student partners we have helped facilitate programming that celebrates historical legacies of a diverse array of identities.

In our ongoing efforts to streamline the planning and collaboration process we have revamped our Heritage Programming Fund application form and are now making it available online. Each year, the center sets aside $1,250/week for each of the Heritage celebrations (please see list below).

Any person or organization interested in developing Heritage Programming event must fill out this form in order for their funding request to be considered. The Davis Center staff will evaluate proposals, usually with our faculty and staff colleagues in other departments.

Collaboration is strongly encouraged, and we will strive to respond to all proposals in a timely manner.

Thank you in advance for your submissions and your participation in the Heritage Event Programming process at Williams College.
