Anne Coloton Williams graduated from SUNY Canton in 1978 with an associate’s degree in Secretarial Science. She began working at the College that same year in the Word Processing Center. She continued her studies part-time and earned a second associate degree in Business Administration. In 1985, she became the Program Aide in the Admissions Office where she worked for 19 years. She enjoyed assisting prospective students and their families with their paperwork to register for classes. In 2004, Anne became the Assistant to the Vice President for Advancement and began working with the Alumni/Development Office and the Canton College Foundation. She thoroughly enjoyed working with the alumni, current students, and the Foundation Board of Directors. Anne was a very dedicated employee and made many lifelong friendships during her 38 years of employment at SUNY Canton. She was deeply honored by the creation of this scholarship endowment.
