- What’s Next??: A supportive space for graduating seniors
Graduating from Williams is a huge transition from being a student to suddenly becoming and adult. This is a uniquely stressful time in a student’s life. Anticipating this change may evoke a wide range of (sometimes contradictory?) feelings including fear, anxiety, apprehension, excitement, joy, curiosity, and even relief.
You are not alone!
