The Williams Club of New York Information

The Williams Club’s membership is open to alumni/ae, students, and their families, as well as faculty, staff, and family of Williams College as well as our 34 affiliate schools. Conveniently located in Midtown Manhattan at 30 West 44th St, the Club is a home away from home for alumni/ae, and a congenial place to make new friends, celebrate with family, entertain clients and colleagues, and reconnect with classmates. Continuing the tradition of preserving alumni ties with Williams College, a group of Williams alumni in New York City founded The Williams Club in 1913. Originally located on Madison Avenue between 39th and 40th Streets, The Club served as a place for Williams alumni to convene and socialize. In 1924, The Club relocated to a twin brownstone residence on 39th Street. After nearly a century of serving our extended New York City community from the location on East 39th Street, the Williams Club ceased its own clubhouse and hospitality operations and moved its membership program and related activities to the Princeton Club of New York on June 1, 2010. We moved again in March, 2022 to our Penn Club home. The Williams Club continues to support the mission of Williams College through programming and the nurturing of alumni camaraderie. Our wide network of affiliate schools allows us to extend this same support to a far-reaching community of like-minded institutions.
