Dear Members of the Hamilton Community,

In my March 18 note to the campus, I expressed gratitude to the Advisory Council for its thoughtful and far-reaching proposals to address diversity, equity, and inclusion at Hamilton. The Council devoted a great deal of time and energy to developing those proposals, and Hamilton will be a stronger institution as a result. It now falls to all of us to carry that work forward. As promised in my earlier message, I am detailing in this document responses to each of the Council’s proposals, with a specific individual or individuals assigned to take the lead on implementation. In the months ahead, we will determine how best to measure and track our response, and will share our progress with the community on the College’s DEI website.

This work is a priority for Hamilton. I hope everyone will join in making Hamilton a more welcoming and inclusive community by helping to implement the council’s proposals or by developing and pursuing other DEI initiatives. I encourage your active participation.

David
