Hamilton College wants to ensure that membership in the group is limited to those with a connection to the College. It may take one or two days to review your request to join. It helps us if you provide LinkedIn with as many of your email addresses as possible, as we use email addresses as a way to authenticate you into the group. Please note that LinkedIn has a policy of not sending unsolicited email to their members, and will not use any of your e-mail addresses for any other purpose than to help authenticate you with a group.
If you still have problems joining the group, please call Hamilton at (866) 729-0313 and ask to speak with the LinkedIn group manager.
