More than 200 Hamilton students conducted research this summer, and several of them stepped off campus and out into the world to do so, supported in part by the College’s International Summer Research Fellowships. From Molecular Biology in Taipei, Taiwan, to creative writing in Glasgow, Scotland, head to the link in the comments to look behind the curtain at four of those experiences.

March 29, 2026, is a date that will live in Hamilton memories for a long, long while.

The College's men's hockey team didn’t win its first national championship because of a breakthrough strategy or a single star. The title came from a culture years in the making.

“One thing that’s been a staple of this program for my four years has been the culture. This is by far the closest team I’ve ever been a part of, and I’ve said that every single year that I’ve been here. We’ve always stuck with it. We’ve always believed in ourselves. That was the message throughout today." -Jackson Krock ’26

Congratulations to Associate Professor of Psychology Keelah Williams, who received an Ig Nobel Prize for her collaborative research paper, "Sometimes We Want Vicious Friends: People Have Nuanced Preferences for How They Want Their Friends to Behave Toward Them Versus Others."

"Previous research finds that people want friends who are kind, helpful, and nice. But as our new research showed, what people really want are friends who are kind, helpful, and nice TO THEM. If the target is an enemy, we actually prefer friends who are willing to be a bit vicious."

For Jasmine Bonilla ’28, understanding policy means more than studying ideas — it means seeing how those ideas can turn into meaningful change.

This summer, Jasmine served as an advisor with the National Urban League’s Washington bureau through Hamilton’s Policy & Nonprofit Leadership Program. She worked on voting rights and federal legislation while collaborating with others to move policy forward.

“This opportunity has made me see just how many people of all backgrounds have to work to make a vision into reality. I am deeply inspired by those who understand change is a slow process, and they are extremely patient and courageous.”
