Engaged Scholars Program
The Engaged Scholars Program encourages students to complete four (4) substantial experiential learning activities throughout their time at Hamilton. These activities (link below) are highlighted in an e-portfolio that archives their reflective narratives, photo journals, vlogs, or blogs. Students also have the opportunity to share their experiences at a spring semester conference, in a new magazine, or via a story-sharing Podcast.
