As conversations surrounding mental health on college campuses arise, so does the demand for the Counseling Center at Hamilton College.

According to Jeff Landry, associate dean of students for health and safety, “We are still searching for additional staff and would like to hire a full time nurse practitioner. In addition, we would like to supplement our staff with an M.D., in addition to Dr. Taylor, who would provide care a day or two a week.” More ...
