Dear Members of the Hamilton Community,

I am writing to announce the appointment of John McLaughlin as Hamilton’s next vice president for enrollment management and dean of admission.

We were fortunate to have attracted John more than a year ago from the University of Pennsylvania when he joined us as dean of admission and associate vice president for enrollment management, and we’re even more pleased that he was interested in taking on this more senior role at the College. In the time that he has been at Hamilton, John has demonstrated strategic vision and leadership, a genuine commitment to diversity and inclusion, an interest in building partnerships across campus, and an affinity for Hamilton. His knowledge, experience, and stature in the admission profession quickly set him apart from a large and diverse pool of candidates. John’s appointment is effective with Monica Inzer’s retirement at the end of the academic year.

I’m grateful to the members of the search committee, especially its chair Gill King, who spent many hours reviewing applications and interviewing candidates. I’m also thankful to those members of the community who offered input and suggestions during the search process, and those who met with the finalists during their visits to campus earlier this month.

David
