Dear Members of the Hamilton Community,

The Hamilton Board of Trustees held its quarterly meeting on campus last weekend.

In addition to the regular committee meetings, the Trustees attended a reception with the Class of 2017 at the Wellin Museum, and had dinners with members of the faculty. I would like to thank the many members of the campus community who interacted with trustees throughout the weekend.

At the board meeting, trustees discussed an external report containing recommendations for restructuring and strengthening the College's fundraising programs. The board also discussed and approved the budget for the fiscal year ending on June 30, 2018, and decided to move forward with construction of an indoor practice facility. As part of the meeting the Trustees divided into groups, facilitated by the chairs of our strategic planning committees, for discussion and brain storming on possible strategic initiatives. The Board also approved the tenure and promotion of Robert Knight, Chinthaka Kuruwita, Scott MacDonald and Xavier Tubau. Please join me in congratulating them.

Following the board meeting, several Trustees participated as judges in the Hamilton Public Speaking Competition and cheered on the Men's Hockey team.

The next board meeting will take place June 9-10.

All best,

David
