The WilliamsFaculty package focuses on the ages of Williams College faculty members. The package explores the age data, with special attention paid to two factors: department and gender. The package provides functions that generate summary tables and functions that generate interesting visual presentations of the data. Some functions generate different summaries and plots depending on the user's input. In addition, The package also contains a function that performs statistical analysis on the data.

The most extensive summary function is age_summary, which provides general data on all ages, a data table specific to gender, and a DT data table specific to departments with a qplot of the ages by department. There are various plotting functions to visualize this data, including color_by_dpmt which presents professors from each department with a different color in a scatter plot.

The package contains an internal data frame, data, which contains the name, department, gender, and age of the 403 Williams faculty members. All the functions are created to work with this data frame only. A useful future modification to the package would be allowing users to import their own data frames.
