V. Community Involvement
The Strategic Plan emerged from the effort of several hundred Hamilton College faculty members, staff, students and alumni to identify the themes and priorities that ought to guide College decision-making through 2014. Their work began in fall 2007 and included open meetings, surveys, and comment periods. Eight subcommittees presented their recommendations to an executive committee.
