Investment Seminar

Personnel Services is coordinating a financial planning workshop on Thursday, Nov. 21, at noon. The workshop will be held in the Great Room on the first floor of the Philip Spencer House.  Pizza will be provided.

This half hour “Lunch-n-Learn” presentation, presented by Meridian Group of New York, Inc., is designed to help attendees reduce the stress and anxiety associated with money, make smart choices about money and enjoy a better overall quality of life.  Through a combination of practical tips and simple advice, participants will be better able to understand how to plan and avoid the common pitfalls that prevent the average person from achieving their financial goals.

If you are interested in taking advantage of this opportunity, please contact Julie Wagner at ext. 4302 or by e-mail to jwagner.

Office of Multicultural Affairs and Student Organizations to Sponsor CultureFest 

The Office of Multicultural Affairs is collaborating with a number of student organizations to sponsor CultureFest, a two-day event designed to celebrate cultural diversity at Hamilton College. CultureFest will kick off on Friday, Nov. 8, at 9 p.m. in the Events Barn with a Poetry Slam, followed by a Latin Night after-party at 10:30 p.m. The Asian Cultural Society is planning a Diwali Festival on Saturday, Nov. 9, at 6 p.m. in the Annex, followed by a number of creative performances and an after-party. Of course, how could we have a CultureFest without food?

One element that has been missing from previous CultureFest celebrations is participation from the faculty and staff. If you have a creative talent that you would like to share during this celebration, please contact Marc David at ext. 4012 as soon as possible. Don't allow Culturefest to pass this year without showing your support.
