Glade & Glen

Issue 5 — Spring 2023

Transitions

This is a bittersweet moment. While I am thrilled to be welcoming you to the stories in this issue of Glade & Glen, I am also sad to report that our inimitable Director of Alumni Relations Sharon Rippey P’12 has retired after 25-plus years at Hamilton. So many alumni have felt Sharon’s love and warmth, and we know this is not only a big change for our office, but also a huge change for the Hamily. You haven’t seen the last of her, however — join us at Reunion Weekend (June 8-11) for a special celebration of Sharon and her many contributions over the years.

This newsletter is a part of Sharon’s legacy. We will carry on what she hoped Glade & Glen would provide for you: a rich source of connection to each other and the College. In her honor, I will end this just as she would: Happy reading!
