Writings & Remarks

Tuesday, Nov. 5, is Election Day! 

As we approach Election Day this Tuesday, Nov. 5, I want to remind those who have not voted, and are registered to vote in Clinton, that there will be a regular shuttle taking people to the polling site at Kirkland Town Hall, approximately four minutes away.

I write with the terribly sad news that one of Hamilton’s most treasured and respected employees died overnight.

I’ve had many conversations with students, faculty and staff and understand that this is a difficult and emotion-filled week. We are also in the midst of midterm

Following an extensive national search with a pool of exceptionally experienced and talented candidates, I am delighted to announce the appointment of Marisa Sanchez Benincasa as vice president for communications and marketing.

I know intuitively – and from the physics course I took in high school – that time does not stand still, but it has certainly felt that way since February when I was named Hamilton’s next president.
