**HWS Annual Fund Supports Future Educator’s Journey**

Hobart and William Smith Colleges (HWS), located in Geneva, NY, report that contributions to their Annual Fund have played a key role in supporting student opportunities, including those of Ryan Pero, Class of 2025. Pero is pursuing certifications to teach mathematics and English as a Second Language, with plans to graduate prepared for a career in education.

As part of his HWS experience, Pero highlighted studying abroad in Seville, Spain, as a significant and formative moment in his educational journey. The Annual Fund facilitated this and other opportunities that contribute to students' academic and professional growth.

The HWS Annual Fund supports various initiatives such as scholarships, internship stipends, mentored research, and experiential learning programs. To contribute to the Annual Fund, visit [HWS Annual Fund Donations](https://www.givecampus.com/campaigns/10855/donations/new).
