A NOTE FROM THE PRESIDENT

A NOTE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Every day I see the impact your giving has on the lives of our students.

One of my jobs as president is to ensure that the resources you entrust to the College are used wisely and stewarded well. I hope that after reviewing this issue of Impact you will share my confidence that your philanthropic investment is making Hamilton an even better college.

David Wippman President

A NOTE FROM LORI DENNISON

Impact was first published five years ago to show Hamilton’s investors — those alumni, parents, and friends who give to the Hamilton Fund and other fundraising priorities — how their philanthropy is being used to support the people, places, and programs at the College.

That’s still our objective with this sixth edition. During the intervening years, however, Hamilton’s endowment has topped $1 billion, so you deserve a fuller explanation of how this extraordinary resource is being used and managed, and why the College continues to seek your support. If, after reviewing this edition of Impact, you have questions about the endowment — or about any of the other ways you invest in making Hamilton better — my colleagues and I are here to provide answers.
