Alumni Association Annual Meeting

The annual meeting of the Alumni Association included special mentions of recent campus events, such as the choir reunion and the Kirkland Reunion celebrating the charter class. The proceedings involved recognizing outgoing chairs of various alumni Council committees, including Regional Affairs, Hamilton Career Network, Nominations, Class Leadership, and Equity and Inclusion. The meeting featured the presentation of several awards: the Distinguished Service Award, given to Professor Monk Row for his work with the Philas Jazz Archive, and the Jeff Little '71 Volunteer of the Year Award, presented to Paul Rker in recognition of his extensive volunteer service, including leadership in regional planning and the Hamilton Career Network. Additionally, four alumni received College Key Awards for specific contributions, such as designing a commemorative ring, promoting the Hamilton Fund, revitalizing the pitch competition, and organizing support for a new boathouse. The meeting concluded with recognition of Phyllis Breeland, who received the Distinguished Service Award, and remarks from President Whitman congratulating award recipients and acknowledging the Kirkland College Charter class celebrating their 50th reunion.
