Williams College Retirement Income Plan

Introduction

The Williams College Retirement Income Plan (the "Plan") is a "defined contribution" pension plan. A percentage of the participant's salary (the defined contribution) is put in an account designated for retirement income purposes. These contributions earn investment returns (see "Investment Options" immediately below). The total amount of accumulated contributions and earnings during the course of the participant's career largely determine the size of the participant's pension income. This summary is effective beginning July 1, 2007 for participant's employed on or after that date. All other participants should consult prior versions of this document.
