Spring 2008 Teaching at HamiltonEarly in his teaching career, Austin Briggs was talking with a legendary older colleague, George Nesbitt '24, about how to be more effective in the classroom. "Open the windows and close the doors," Nesbitt told him. It turned out to be pretty good advice. More ... Search of the 'Win-Win-Win Result' New board Chair A.G. Lafley '69 brings a stellar corporate résumé and a well-earned reputation as a listener and consensus-builder. More ... What Students Want Students come to Hamilton expecting to find passionate, committed teachers who will challenge them to exceed expectations. And they do. More ... Assessments: Personal Connections Count Most Tools to measure the College's impact on students point to a fundamental reality, one researcher says: "Hamilton is first and foremost a community. All of the educational good we offer really depends on that." More ... 'Sitting in the Front Row Could Be Dangerous' Animated, intense, brilliant, wise, funny, generous of spirit — the Hill's great teachers have been unique individuals, but alumni remember their shared commitment to their students' success.

Social networking technology — so-called "Web 2.0" — is indeed transforming some elements of campus culture, but at least we haven't become the Borg yet. (And for help with that, try Wikipedia.) More ... Summer 2007 Illuminating AsiaAnticipating a global shift that is now a reality, Hamilton has taken a diverse and innovative approach to the teaching of Asian cultures and languages. More ... JYF: Remembrance of Things Past A half-century of the celebrated study-abroad program has produced as many experiences as the Hamilton students who have undertaken them, but there's a common thread: A year in France expands one's mind, broadens one's vision and ultimately changes one's life. More ... Writing Contest Winner: "O." In a fictional memoir that gives voice to a loss shared by the entire Hamilton community, the authors honor a classmate, a friend and an indomitable spirit. More ...
