Over Sunday, February 23rd, Hamilton College’s Asian Student Union (ASU)  hosted their 3rd annual New Year’s event, curating a wide range of cultural games, food, language immersion, and community building. ASU President Hana Dolan noted that the event was one of the largest celebrations of Asian student life on campus, drawing upwards of 200 students; “We are on a PWI campus where students are separated from their families and communities . . . it's so important, to build community on this campus.”

La Vanguardia hosted a lively movie night on April 6th in the DMC Kirkland Room, featuring an iconic Spanish-language sequel that brought plenty of laughs and good vibes. With Chipotle in hand and subtitles on screen, students gathered for a cozy evening of culture, community, and cinematic fun.

On the eve of April 5th, the Little Pub at Hamilton College was bursting at the seams with love, laughter, and just the right amount of chaos at Love Fest—a fabulously sex-positive bash featuring trivia that made you blush, raffles and prizes that made you cheer, and cocktails that made you dance (maybe a little too confidently). The event brought to the stage killer performances by Tumbling After, Special K, Duelly Noted, student bands, and DJ Emie. Hosted by CIF and SMART, the event wasn’t just a party—it was a powerful fundraiser for sexual assault resources donated to the YWCA, proving that love, consent, and good tunes really do make the world go round.

On Wednesday, January 29th, the Annex of the Tolles Pavilion was filled with warmth, reflection, and unity as students, faculty, staff and community members gathered for the annual MLK Remembrance Dinner. Around 150 attendees from around campus and beyond came together to honor the enduring legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. through a shared meal and meaningful conversations.

Every Tuesday at 6 PM, the Days-Massolo Multicultural Center transforms into a warm and welcoming space for Trans Tea Time, a weekly event dedicated to fostering community and support for transgender and nonbinary individuals. This gathering provides a safe and affirming environment where attendees can relax, share experiences, and connect with one another over a comforting selection of tea, cookies, and biscuits.

Hey Hamilton community, we are the DMC fellows and we are so excited to see you all on campus this semester! We hold office hours on weekdays from 4:30PM - 10PM and on weekends from 10AM to 10PM.

Unlike other heritage months, Latinx Heritage month lasts from mid-September to mid-October in order to capture the abundance of independence days that occur within this time period.

On the night of October 11th, the day following National Coming Out Day, the Gender and Sexuality Union hosted their annual black-light celebration in the Annex! Multicolored lights flashed through the dimly lit room as friends laughed and danced together.

Every table in the Fillius Events Barn was filled on the night of Sunday, November 3rd for the Asian Student Union’s second annual celebration of Diwali, a holiday often called the Festival of Lights.

Blue lights, blue balloons, and karaoke it must be FCC’s Blue Vinyl! Friday, October 11th, the Feminists of Color Collective brought the Hamilton community together for a night of activism and healing through art with their annual Blue Vinyl event.
