Changes

A large percentage of the students who stay in williams for the summer are employed through various academic departments doing research for their theses, although working on campus doesn't exactly require a such a project. Many departments will provide housing but no meal plan or perhaps the other way around, housing is generally around $35 per week and meals in packages of 5, 10, 14, and 21. Inquire to the department of your major for summer job opportunities; usually to get the job you must stay here for most of the summer. Another employer during the summer at Williams is the [[Conference Office]]. Although application deadlines have passed for Summer '06, information about the Summer Conference Office can be found on their website: http://www.williams.edu/admin/conference/. After spring break each year, the conference office jobs are posted on the website, daily messages and through campus mailings.

* The environmental studies department provides positions for Caretakers in [[Hopkins Forest]], librarians in the CES library, and occasionally a gardner for the grounds around [[Kellog houseHouse]]. *Both [http://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php/Sawyer_Library Sawyer] and [[Schow]] have student positions, although obviously fewer than during the school year. Library work is tedious and , but pay is decent, but at least and it's all air conditioned.

*The [[Admissions office Office]] hires anywhere from 5-10 student representatives for the summer. It's one of the most sought-after positions on campus year round, but and the summer is pretty competitive as well, and unbelievably fun. The summer peaks in July and August where they really need people. Also, if you have other traveling plans, this is a great option for someone who wants to be in Williamstown for part of the summer instead of the entire time.*The [[Theatre ]] department holds the [[Summer Theatre Lab ]] for six weeks June-August, in which students work with alumni and members of the [[Williamstown Theater Festival ]] to workshop original material.
