Professor Anna Creadick transformed my academic experience here at HWS. She is the reason I became an english major. I will forever be grateful to her for the academic and emotional support she has offered me throughout my time at the colleges.

Chris Woodworth believed in me when I felt no other professor did. She is active and attentive to each and every one of her students. She goes above and beyond for each student whether it's shuttle students to see theater production in other towns, to hosting dinners at her house, to forming classes centered around those in her department who prefer creative writing.

I am grateful for the Geneva Scholarship Associates, who helped afford me an HWS education. For Professor Salter for a life-changing FYS, Professor Juan Liebana for an incredible study abroad in Madrid, Spain and for Professors McGuire and DiGangi who opened up doors in Washington, D.C. during the Public Policy semester. I am thankful for Dean Brophy and the opportunity to participate on the Mock Trial Team, and for Career Services who helped secure several internships with alums committed to giving back. I am thankful for a transformative education.

While working in the communications office from 1993-2005, I had the privilege of working with all four of the retiring faculty members. Each one exhibited expertise in their field, a passion for teaching and for their students, and all were just fine men. It was a pleasure to know them and to work with them. I wish them all great adventures in their retirement

It's been a year since our first Scholarship Day of Donors, and I am back at my desk feeling utterly grateful for the privilege of working at HWS. I have THE BEST colleagues, both faculty and staff. My HWS colleagues are sincere, generous and welcoming to all of our students. They work hard to make this place amazing. Please consider making a gift to support scholarships today: there are so many terrific students who want to come here. Even $10 will do the trick. Grateful for all of you.

Hugely grateful for the HWS deans who are willing and able to even work with parents to guide students and families through any rough patches. It takes a village- and the school means it when they say they are "relationship rich"!

Thank you to Jim Spates who elevated and pushed my vision of myself as a student. He emboldened me to read the New York Times and think bigger. He (and Pat McGuire) took us to New York and Toronto, sat on the porch with iconic urbanist Jane Jacobs, enabled us to ring the opening bell at the New York Stock enchange(!) and, separately, hilariously played the classic doubleheader of Boyz in The Hood and Clueless during the 1997 Stupidbowl.

Cultivating true students. . . since before you were born. Thanks, Jim. - Josh "Campy" Campbell

Congratulations to Professor Halfman on a wonderful career and a well deserved retirement! When I reflect on my time as a geoscience and environmental studies student at HWS, I am grateful that I spent many hours completing research and taking classes with Professor Halfman. He was a brilliant and inspiring educator and a a trusted and true mentor. HWS will miss him!

Jack Harris was a great professor. He created memorable and meaningful assignments that I still remember to this day. They made a profound positive impact on how I understand my loved ones. Thank you, Professor Harris!

I will forever remember my sociology of community class with Jack Harris! One of the most memorable classes from 4 years and the only time since Kindergarten that I got to play duck, duck goose. 20 years later and the memories remain.

Thank you, President Gearan and Mrs. Gearan,

From the moment my daughter set foot on campus, she has been embraced by a community that radiates integrity and empathy, values that undoubtedly stem from your exemplary leadership. Your commitment to fostering an environment where every student feels valued, supported, and empowered has not gone unnoticed.

The transition to college can be daunting, but thanks to your dedication to creating a nurturing environment, my daughter has flourished both academically and personally. Knowing that she is part of a community-led by individuals who prioritize the well-being and success of every student brings me immense comfort and peace of mind.

Thank you for your kindness, leadership and empathy.

Thank you to Professor Ristow for being an amazing advisor and insightful professor both in Geneva and during my study abroad semester in Argentina! You inspired me to stay curious and further my academic & professional interested in the Latin American region. I will always be grateful for your support during my time at the Colleges!

A major thank you to Katie Flowers, Director of the Center for Community Engagement and Service Learning! You inspired me to connect further with Geneva and learn more about the Finger Lakes. I could not be more grateful for the sense of community you built between students, and for us with the community, especially during the 2020-2021 academic year. I credit you for opening my eyes to the wonderful world of nonprofits and helping make the world a better place. Thank you for being one of my greatest mentors and inspirations! <3

50 years ago a young Jack Harris wandered onto this campus. 50 years later, no less energetic, no less inspiring, he will step back and look over a career that changed lives. I suspect his great work doesn't end. I know his long list of students credit him with their successes in life!
