Communications Resources at a Glance

We work with you to identify and shape stories that bring your work to life — from news pieces and web content to feature stories.

• To receive a weekly summary of the latest stories by email every Friday, subscribe to the Hamilton News Listserv.
• Members of the Hamilton community, including alumni, parents, employees and students, automatically receive Hamilton Headlines each month, and the Hamilton magazine and Hamilton Extra twice a year.
• Hamilton partners with Merit to publicize students’ achievements. Merit acts as a personal archive of each student’s academic career, showcasing their accomplishments, awards, activities, and more, as well as a news distribution service.
• If you see a photographer or videographer on campus and do not wish for your image to be recorded, politely decline to be included. See Hamilton’s image use policy for more information.

We design clear, compelling, and materials — both digital and print — that help you communicate effectively with your audiences while following Hamilton’s brand standards.

The College graphic identity is an integral element of our messaging, whether placed on a website, a brochure, a piece of stationery, a uniform, an email message or a sign. When used consistently as a visual component of College communications, it strengthens the recognition of the College and reinforces Hamilton’s history and values.

• Request creative services or a general consultation

We help you clarify goals, audiences, and tactics — and connect your efforts to broader messaging priorities. Start by completing the request form.

From content editing and layout to accessibility and navigation, we help ensure your web presence is clear, engaging, and goal-driven.

• Guides for website editors
• Communications request form — website fixes, assistance with web projects, and more (for editors and non-editors)

Hamilton uses email to share important information with students, faculty, and staff. To ensure effective communication and widespread dissemination of essential information, all students, faculty, and employees are automatically added to the official distribution lists for College emails.

You can join additional groups through Hamilton’s Rapid Identity system.
