Once registered, all Hamilton and Kirkland alumni, current and past parents, students, and faculty and staff will have access to the features and information in My Hamilton. People who are not affiliated with Hamilton College do not have access to any personal or career information.
All personal information is provided for use by Hamilton community members and the College for non-commercial and/or College-authorized purposes only.
The College will not share personal information you provide to us via this website with any non-College entity other than for purposes directly authorized by the College.
Once you connect your LinkedIn account, the information we have on file for you will be automatically updated to reflect any changes you make on LinkedIn. Hamilton-related LinkedIn communities of which you are a member will be highlighted on your profile to encourage others to engage with you there. (For security purposes, you will have to log in to your My Hamilton account at least once every 60 days.)
Click on Edit my Profile on the My Hamilton home screen or on the My Profile screen, click the Social tab (last one on the right) and hit delete next to LinkedIn.
Whether in the initial stages of career exploration or preparing for a job interview, students benefit tremendously from the expertise and advice of professionals. We are seeking alumni and parents willing to share such career-specific information with individual students by appointment and/or with groups of students in a presentation or informal networking session. Information can be shared in person or electronically via Skype or videoconferencing.
To volunteer, edit your My Hamilton profile, and click on the Volunteer Tab to select the ways in which you'd like to help.
Once you have joined the Hamilton Career Network, your volunteer roles will be highlighted on your profile. Additionally, students will be able to perform an advanced search, and narrow their search by those who have offered to provide career advice or practice interviews to students.
