Multicultural Alumni Relations Committee
Members of MARC maintain meaningful and mutually beneficial relationships with each other, current students, faculty, and staff by:
- Connecting those within the extended Hamilton community who identify with and/or value multiculturalism.
- Serving as a resource to students, alumni, faculty, and staff who identify as persons of color.
- Growing meaningful and mutually beneficial relationships within the Hamilton community.
- Inspiring the greater Hamilton community to value multiculturalism, continue fostering a welcoming and inclusive community, and further engage with each other.
Enlace
Hamilton Enlace is a MARC program created by and for Hamilton alumni and students who identify as people of color. Enlace’s goals are to create a network around shared identity and experiences, build relationships that are personally and professionally beneficial, and provide support that begins when students arrive on the Hill and continues through their journey as Hamilton alumni.
Leadership
Kimblie Silva ’04
MARC Chair
Kimblie usually avoids homework at all costs, so in the true Hamiltonian spirit, she left her bio until the last minute and then got an extension. Kimblie proudly represents Hamilton not because of her actual experience as a student, but because of the values her favorite staff members modeled in both the classroom and in their real lives off campus. She accepted this chair position not only because she loves supporting fellow Caribbeans, like Alex Hamilton, but also because of the great women of Kirkland and the faculty — Professor Gold, Professor Haley, Professor Sanchez-Casal, and of course the incredible Hamilton women graduates, especially our La Vanguardia leader extraordinaire Jazmin '02.
Kevin Herrera ’16
MARC Vice Chair
Jazmín Gatto de Torres ’02, P’29
MARC Chair Emerita; Enlace Alumni Co-Coordinator
Jazmín Gatto de Torres '00, P'29 and her husband Vidal J. Torres '00, P'29 split their time between Richmond VA, the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, and the Dominican Republic. As a student, Jazmín was a campus leader in many areas including Doers and Thinkers, Newman Council, and La Vanguardia. Following graduation, Jazmín pursued careers in the nonprofit and education sectors. Volunteering long being her passion, when not traveling, Jazmín spends her time volunteering for her daughter’s school, their church, and of course, Hamilton. Jazmín served on the Regional, Multicultural Alumni Relations, and Executive committees of the Alumni Council, was awarded the Jeff Little '71 Volunteer of the Year Award in 2025, and now serves as vice chair of the Alumni Council and vice president of the Alumni Association.
