This will be the last message from the Aspirational Design Core team as we close out our aspirational design process. While the culture of innovation, design, and collaboration continues, the College is moving forward through existing and new committees, working groups, and departments to implement the initiatives that resulted from our work together. We’d like to extend our thanks again to all who participated.

The Aspirational Design Core Team is seeking focused feedback from the Hamilton community before presenting a refined report to the Board of Trustees in March.

With the spring semester underway, we wanted to share an update on the Aspirational Design process and what we’ve learned, what bigger ideas have emerged, and how this work is continuing to unfold.

While the charrette events are nearing the end, the aspirational design work isn’t done. We look forward to sharing the ideas that have come out of these charrettes in December.

Join the Aspirational Design Core Team and the Levitt Center on Wednesday night for our final community charrette, Community Conversation on Aspirational Design. Free dinner (from Taj Mahal!) and dessert will be served.

The last of the six focus charrettes, Innovation, Technology, & Authentic Intelligence, takes place later this week! Mark your calendars now for next week’s Community Charrette (11/12, 7-9 p.m.).

Our final focus charrette, Innovation, Technology, & Authentic Intelligence, is next week (Nov. 6-7). Email aspirationaldesign@hamilton.edu if you would like to participate.

Hope everyone enjoyed Fall break! Two focus charrettes take place this week: Hamilton 360 and Practicing the Liberal Arts. Be on the lookout for opportunities to test prototypes on campus Oct. 22 and Oct. 24.

Three more focus charrettes are coming up in October and November. More details below. All members of the campus community are invited and encouraged to participate.

The first Community Charrette is Wednesday, Oct. 8 (7–9 p.m., Tolles Pavilion). Come hear new ideas, add your voice, and enjoy free dessert. More details below. 

We’re still in the early stages, so your feedback will help these ideas evolve.
