For some students, summer is a time to relax and decompress; for others, it is a time to develop résumés and professional qualifications. For a few members of the Hamilton baseball team, it offers the perfect opportunity to improve their game — only a few minutes from campus.

Women's hockey defender Abby Kuhns '23 (Skaneateles, N.Y./Loomis Chaffee School [Conn.]) and men's golfer Billy Geach '23 (Harare, Zimbabwe/St. George's College) were honored as Hamilton College's top athletes from the Class of 2023 at the Jack B. Riffle Celebration for senior varsity athletes on Tuesday, May 16.

Hamilton students kept busy during spring break, exploring their passions at places far and near. Eighteen seniors traveled to Nepal to trek the Himalayas; the College Choir toured Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, and West Virginia, where they performed with other college singers; Alternate Spring Break groups did volunteer work in Kentucky, Delaware, North Carolina, and Syracuse, N.Y. Athletic teams competed in the NCCAs and during trips to Florida, and the Curling team made it to nationals.

It isn’t all play and no work for Hamilton College students during their spring break, March 15 to 31. From Alternative Break volunteer service trips in Baltimore and South Carolina to a trek over the Himalayas in Nepal, Hamilton students are pursuing their academic, charitable, and athletic interests all over the globe.

The new indoor practice facility, the size of half a football field, will open before November 2018.

There’s just no one answer to the question: “What are Hamilton students doing over spring break?”
