When your campus resides on the shores of a lake, the ambiance of the university would seem likely to have a marine spin to it.
George Williams College of Aurora University is located on the shores of Williams Bay in Wisconsin’s Geneva Lake and has such a marine ambiance and mindset. George Williams is a living learning lab where students are provided a number of unique opportunities.
Located two hours from downtown Chicago, George Williams works to advance global awareness among its students and will host a Lake Study Day where they will invite Ocean Advocate Bruckner Chase to present a number of emerging issues about the world’s ocean, ocean sports, and the growing menace of marine debris.
