KIM WILLIAMS ’15

Kim Williams ’15 graduated from MCLA with a B.A. in interdisciplinary studies with concentrations in elementary education, mathematics, and history. She is currently a special education teacher at the District of Columbia Public Schools in Washington, D.C. Previously, Williams has done extensive work at various non-profits with a focus on fundraising/resource development and programming in youth development, patient advocacy, and community service.

Williams says MCLA’s courses, which emphasize organization, analysis, and research experience were keystones in her professional development. The College also taught her creative problem solving and critical thinking, allowing her to maneuver through any possible obstacles in her field.

Looking back, Williams says she misses North Adams, namely her favorite college haunt, The Parlor Cafe. “The Parlor Cafe was a really memorable place for me when it snowed. It was a cozy place to sit and watch the snowfall. We don’t get very much snow in D.C. these days, so I miss that warm and fuzzy feeling!”
