Hey Hamilton community, we are the DMC fellows and we are so excited to see you all on campus this semester! We hold office hours on weekdays from 4:30PM - 10PM and on weekends from 10AM to 10PM.

On Wednesday, January 29th, the Annex of the Tolles Pavilion was filled with warmth, reflection, and unity as students, faculty, staff and community members gathered for the annual MLK Remembrance Dinner. Around 150 attendees from around campus and beyond came together to honor the enduring legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. through a shared meal and meaningful conversations.

On the night of October 11th, the day following National Coming Out Day, the Gender and Sexuality Union hosted their annual black-light celebration in the Annex! Multicolored lights flashed through the dimly lit room as friends laughed and danced together.

Every table in the Fillius Events Barn was filled on the night of Sunday, November 3rd for the Asian Student Union’s second annual celebration of Diwali, a holiday often called the Festival of Lights.

Unlike other heritage months, Latinx Heritage month lasts from mid-September to mid-October in order to capture the abundance of independence days that occur within this time period. La Vanguardia celebrated the closing of Latinx Heritage Month with a lively celebration at Latin Ball on the night of October 12th in the Tolles Pavilion.

Blue lights, blue balloons, and karaoke it must be FCC’s Blue Vinyl! Friday, October 11th, the Feminists of Color Collective brought the Hamilton community together for a night of activism and healing through art with their annual Blue Vinyl event.

At the Days-Massolo Multicultural Center, there are five students that keep our center organized and involved with campus life. These students include Ashley Beck, Lina Igumnova, Madeleine Cerone (me!), Jun Reiss, and Nickie Conlogue. In this article, we share a little bit about who the DMC Fellows are, what they do, and which snacks you might find in their dorm room.

Free speech meets free Cremeria at the DMC’s latest event “Get the Scoop!” Monday, October 14th our Multicultural Fellows hosted a fun (and very informative) night of Kahoot where participants had an opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions about free speech and expression, test their knowledge, and compete to win a Euphoria gift card.

On the night of Friday, October 25, whoops and hollers could be heard coming from the heart of campus. The little village was alive with students from all corners of campus for the Black and Latine Student Union (BLSU) Homecoming celebration.

This year, the DMC is all about empathy—yes, that magical superpower that lets us step into someone else’s shoes without actually borrowing them. Whether you’re sporting boots, heels, or those suspiciously worn-out sneakers, we’re asking everyone to embrace empathy as the theme for our programming. We’re tackling empathy with humor, heart, and a solid dose of real-world relevance.
