Come explore research at Hamilton and beyond as students present their summer research findings in the sciences. Meet the researchers, learn about their work, and enjoy refreshments. Posters will remain on display throughout the weekend in the Taylor Science Center.

Levitt summer researchers will display posters showcasing their research projects. Fellows spend up to ten weeks conducting independent research on public affairs questions of their own choosing, working full-time in close collaboration with a faculty adviser. Students come from every concentration, and the posters represent the culmination of that work.

Due to illness, Mike Mahanna will not be presenting this weekend, but will be here in April.  Instead, we are offering an encore recording of Hamilton College's landscape master plan by Glen Valentine, landscape architect and principal of STIMSON Associates’ Cambridge studio. He shares the campus's history, how its spaces have evolved over the decades, and the principles guiding design recommendations for the future. Drawing on more than 30 years of experience—including award-winning campus and institutional master plans, public parks, and private residences—Valentine discusses his interest in the expressive and sculptural potential of landform and highlights how environmental conditions shape design. You will gain insigh...
