Hamilton Trustees are back on campus this week, March 3-5. One of their priorities when they return to "The Hill" is to spend time with students, including opportunities to talk with students about their career plans. Because of their extensive professional experience and networks, they may be in a position to advise you with your own career plans. Several formal opportunities have been scheduled to facilitate this interaction. Please plan on attending and taking advantage of their expertise.
