Hamilton salutes four distinguished members of the faculty who retired this year after a combined 152 years of service to the College.

“Be a Match” the posters and emails exhorted, advertising the Feb. 17 marrow registry drive held at Hamilton.

Be the Match, the organization that maintains the registry, rightly proclaims that “every potential donor who proves to be a match has a chance to be a hero and save a life.”

Dave Thompson, director of the Charlean and Wayland Blood Fitness and Dance Center, Campus Wellness director and professor of physical education, was a panel member during the American Heart Association’s second annual Fit-Friendly Worksite Wellness Symposium.

Dave Thompson, director of the Charlean and Wayland Blood Fitness and Dance Center, director of Campus Wellness and professor of physical education at Hamilton, was honored as the 2013 Distinguished Service Award recipient by Hamilton’s Alumni Association.

Hamilton’s state-of-the art fitness center just got a bit more hi-tech with the replacement of 50 pieces of exercise equipment.  The Charlean and Wayland Blood Fitness and Dance Center was closed during last week’s fall recess in order to remove the old machines and bring in and install the new equipment.

Since its formal dedication at Fallcoming in October, 2006, The Charlean and Wayland Blood Fitness and Dance Center has established itself as the hub of campus fitness and wellness activities.
