Let Me Tell You A Story

Let Me Tell You A Story is a student organization founded at the beginning of the Spring '07 semester by Rachel Ko '09. Every Sunday at 9PM we meet in the Paresky Henze Lounge to listen to a member of the Williams community tell a personal life story. All are welcome, and each week about 30-60 people come to eat cookies and connect to people's experiences outside the purple bubble and to each other.

Contact Rachel Ko (09rk) if you'd like to speak or have any questions. We also maintain a listserv (tellmeastory @ wso) and a Facebook group ([1]), so feel free to join those as well.
