Mary Stone

I am a senior writer at a liberal arts college in the Finger Lakes. 

At Hobart and William Smith, I interview alumni and donors, but mainly professors and students and write about a wide range of research: biology, geology, psychology, physics, political science, robotics, music, anthropology, economics, philosophy.

Prior to HWS, I was a writing professor at St. John Fisher University and Rochester Institute of Technology, where over the course of six years, I taught more than 900 college students how to write about their research. On the side, I worked as an interpreter for French-speaking hospital patients from Africa and the Caribbean.

Before that, I was a newspaper beat reporter and then a magazine editor for more than a decade.
