Hamilton welcomes new director of diversity and inclusion
October 6, 2016This week the Days-Massolo Center welcomed its new Associate Director of Diversity and Inclusion, Aimee Germain. Germain comes to Hamilton College after working at the University of Michigan as the Graduate Program Coordinator for the Department of Women’s Studies. She received her Bachelor of Arts Degree from the University of Michigan as well as a Masters of Science from the London School of Economics and Political Science. Germain has also worked with GLAD in Boston, the Jane Goodall Institute in Washington DC and the surrounding area as well as the University of Chicago. Her impressive resume makes her a perfect addition to the Days-Massolo Center and the important diversity work they conduct. Germain is excited to begin work at Hamilton due to the ability to work closely with students, an opportunity that a small liberal arts college provides.
