Dear Hamilton Community,

As the year comes to a close and we prepare to enjoy the winter break, Dana and I wish you and your family the warmest of Season’s Greetings. During this time of reflection and thanks, we are reminded of how grateful we are to be part of such a welcoming and generous community.

It’s also time for [what we believe to be] the busiest campus in the history of civilization to rest! Our community is filled with ambitious people who say yes to almost everything: yes to discovery, yes to new challenges, and yes when asked to support others. Our alumni carry this enthusiasm into their careers, continuing to be compelling humans, active citizens, and restless explorers. What a gift this College gives to its students and to the world.

It’s awe-inspiring to witness the level of engagement that takes place every day on the Hill, but we hope you will give yourself permission to take a much deserved break. You’ve earned it!

Wishing everyone a restful holiday break and a great start to the new year. Happy Holidays!

Onward for Hamilton!

Steven & Dana
