A summer internship at a start-up company in New York City is enabling Janika Beatty ’17 to explore a couple different interests: the beauty industry and blogging.  Beatty is working for BASE BUTTER, a new company that produces an all- natural multipurpose body butter.  Support for Beatty’s internship is made possible by Daniel Fielding ’07 and managed through Hamilton’s Career and Life Outcomes Center.

Faced with choosing between a full-time position in a prestigious global communications marketing firm or work with a non-profit organization, Njideka Ofoleta ’16 went with her gut and took a fellowship with the Newman’s Own Foundation. “I wanted an opportunity to give back for a year,” said Ofoleta, a Posse Foundation Scholar from Miami.

Reunions 2016 kicked off on Thursday, June 9, with a medallion ceremony honoring members of the Class of 1966 who are celebrating their 50-year reunion.

Reunion is defined as “the act of coming together again.”  There will be plenty of opportunity to do that this weekend, June 9-12, as Hamilton will welcome back more than 1,000 alumni and guests for Reunions 2016.  A special welcome goes to members of the class of 1966 who will be celebrating their 50th reunion. A full schedule of events will keep attendees busy throughout the weekend.

Summer break has just begun, but Gaby Pilson ’17 has already had a memorable experience. Pilson, a member of Central Oneida County Volunteer Ambulance Corps., is a glacier guide in Seward, Alaska, this summer. An active member of the Hamilton Outing Club, she put her EMT training and outdoor leadership experience to use when she assisted in a medical rescue last week.
