CUL
CUL is a meal plan for staff and faculty to encourage engagement with the Williams community. CUL swipes can be used for full board meals at Whitman's, Driscoll, or Mission Park. They are also available for board meal packages at Eco Café and Lee Snack Bar. This plan cannot be used as part of the GET app. There is no monetary value associated with CUL, therefore it cannot be used for retail items that are not part of a meal plan.
The criteria for use vary for Faculty and staff in the number of meals allotted and reimbursement by the department associated with use. For questions, please email dining @williams.edu.
