Support & Development

Hamilton College commits to the protection of the pillars of academic freedom: scholars’ and creative artists’ freedom to carry out research and creative work according to their own lights and then to publish, perform, and exhibit their work without undue infringement.

See details about awards and grants supported by the Dean of Faculty Office for course and career development.

View resources for department chairs, including: the Chair Guidebook, Information for New Department Chairs, Annual Review Process and Recruiting.

Each year, approximately 30 newcomers join the faculty. We've compiled a guide for new faculty members that contains everything from how to access class lists and submit grades to advising resources and academic support services for students, to teaching and research support for faculty.

The Dean of Faculty is prepared to assist as faculty members make the transition from distinguished careers as teachers, scholars, mentors, and academic leaders.
