Alex loved his time at Williams so much. Beyond his four formative college years, Williams left a lasting impact on his life, supporting him during both happy and difficult times. Most recently, thanks to the support of the Tyng scholarship he received while at Williams, Alex pursued his Master’s in Computer Science at San Jose State University. Alex’s family would like to support scholarship funds at Williams College so that future students in need of financial aid may continue to spend formative years in this special place.

Thank you so much to all who have kindly donated to Williams in Alex’s honor. This means so much to us, since Williams’ generosity supported Alex’s undergraduate and graduate studies.

Just a quick update that Williams has provided us with a direct link to their site for future donations. All previous donations listed on this site have already been processed, but if anyone ran into an error using the donation link on this site in the last few days, it is now updated to take you to Williams directly. Thank you again!
