Future Ready: UAS Students Explore Hamilton College

UASCS JSHS Students Explore College Life at Hamilton College Visit

Monday, May 11th, 2026: A group of 8th- and 9th-grade students from Utica Academy of Science had the exciting opportunity to visit Hamilton College and connect with campus leaders and students from the Opportunity Program.

During the visit, students met with Travis Hill, Dean of Campus Life; Aaron Ray, Director of Opportunity Programs; Ariel Adams, Director of Student Activities; and current Hamilton College students who shared their experiences and advice about college life.

The day began with a warm welcome from Dean Card and other campus leaders, who encouraged students to begin thinking about college early and to explore the many opportunities available after high school. Students then enjoyed a guided campus tour and even shared lunch with current college students.

The visit was such a success that the Opportunity Program expressed interest in making this an annual event, helping strengthen this partnership and create even more future opportunities for our students.
