Switchboard is a bulletin board that lets you ask for what you need and offer what you have within the Williams community. Whether you’re faculty, staff, student, family member or alumni, use Switchboard to connect with people who share your interests.

How it works
Post an ask or offer
Seeking an assistant for a project? Looking for a job? Have a sofa to give away? Have a great opportunity to share? Post an ask or offer and make it happen!
Search and filter posts
Easily find offerings and opportunities and respond directly to asks and requests.
Set alerts
Set up custom email alerts about asks and offers of interest to you. No more groups, listservs, pages, or scrolling endless feeds. You’ll only be notified about content you care about.
