The Finger LakesHobart and William Smith are located on a spectacular 188-acre campus along the northern tip of Seneca Lake in the City of Geneva. The birthplace of the women’s rights movement and in the heart of the Finger Lakes region, this area is rich in history and natural beauty. It serves as a spectacular living and learning environment for students, faculty and staff. The rare natural topography offers combinations of rolling hills and expansive lakescapes. Surrounding Hobart and William Smith is one of the largest acreages of vineyards in the country. The beauty of the area makes it a popular tourist destination and a host to festivals, resorts and shops.

Founded in 1822 (Hobart for men) and again in 1908 (William Smith for women), Hobart and William Smith have

a rich and unique history that spans nearly 200 years of lacrosse stick-wielding, laurel-passing and note-taking on Seneca Lake. When John Henry Hobart, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of New York, visited Geneva in 1818, he recognized that the bustling lakeside village was the perfect place to build what he called an “outpost

for civilized and learned behavior.” The institution was renamed in honor of its founder in 1852.

An active participant in the women’s rights movement, local philanthropist William Smith was committed to founding a nondenominational, liberal arts institution dedicated to educating women broadly. William Smith College was founded adjacent to Hobart and entered into a coordinate

arrangement that is now unique among American colleges.

Even before they were known as Hobart and William Smith, the Colleges were known for taking chances on new ideas and people. Geneva Medical College (the precursor to Hobart) holds the distinction of graduating the first woman doctor, Elizabeth Blackwell, and the first Native American doctor, Peter Wilson, in the Unites States.

Our President

President Mark D. Gearan’s appointment to Hobart and William Smith in 1999 made him one of the nation’s youngest college presidents. In the course of his tenure, he has reinforced the Colleges’ commitment to academic rigor, global understanding, study

abroad opportunities and community service, with the goal of providing these elements through contemporary facilities and state-of-the-art technology. President Gearan is a member of the political science department and is a frequent presence in the classroom as a lecturer and instructor. His President’s Forum series has brought international thinkers, activists, politicians, journalists and heads-of-state to campus to meet with students and share ideas. When named president, Gearan was director of the Peace Corps in Washington,

D.C., a post he assumed in 1995. Under his leadership, the Peace Corps experienced a resurgence of interest. Previously, President Gearan served at the White House as Assistant to the President and Director of Communications, as well as Deputy Chief of Staff during the Clinton administration. A native of Gardner, Mass., President Gearan earned his B.A. in government cum laude at Harvard University and his law degree at Georgetown University. He is the recipient of 12 honorary degrees.

Religious Life at HWSAt Hobart and William Smith, we believe that the life of the spirit and the life of the mind need not be separate or mutually exclusive, but in fact may be profoundly interrelated and rewarding. Through Religious Life events, students can meet like-minded peers during a knitting circle, offer up a prayer, light a candle or join the Chaplain and friends for dinner at Pasta Night. St. John’s Chapel hosts Buddhist, Catholic, Episcopalian and Quaker services. The local community is also home to a variety of religious services, including Baha’i, Baptist, Jewish, Methodist, Presbyterian, and Unitarian.

Abbe Center for Jewish LifeSituated across the street from Geneva’s Temple Beth-El, the Abbe Center for Jewish Life provides the perfect location for cultivating relationships between HWS students and the Geneva community. Both a community center and a themed residence hall with a Kosher kitchen, the Abbe Center for Jewish Life hosts celebrations throughout the academic year. Programming is open to everyone regardless of cultural or religious background.

The Big, Green IdeaAt Hobart and William Smith, light

bulbs are going off over the heads of students, faculty and staff all the

time – it just so happens that more and more of them are the eco-friendly, compact fluorescent variety. Since Colleges President

Mark D. Gearan signed the American College and University

Presidents Climate Commitment, not only has environmental awareness and activism been the focus of strong individual projects, but being green has become a collective effort that brings together an entire range of HWS community members, student organizations and academic disciplines.

Rosensweig Learning Commons Opened in 2008 and combining services and staff from the Warren Hunting Smith Library, Information Technology Services and the Center for Teaching and Learning, the Rosensweig Learning Commons supports complex learning, deep exploration and rigorous intellectual pursuit. An environment of print and electronic resources that cultivates the research and technical skills for lifelong learning, the space has both Mac and Windows computers, including a 24-hour study area.

Student Life Hobart and William Smith are small, residential Colleges where learning doesn’t stop at the classroom door. Many students live in deliberately designed Learning Communities that focus on shared, active learning by building bridges between what happens in and out of the classroom. From late night conversations in residence halls to political discussions over ice cream in the café, the HWS community never stops thinking, never stops learning and never stops questioning.

Residential LifeNearly all of HWS students live on campus in:

• 7 co-ed residence halls• 10 single-gender residence halls• 22 theme houses• 48 townhouses• 5 fraternities
