Assistant Dean of Students for Disability Services Debra Hamilton passed away on January 12, 2009 after a brief illness. Hamilton worked for the Institute for over 23 years, advising the RPI community, serving as an advocate on behalf of students, faculty, and staff, and aiding the Institute in its planning, renovation, and new construction of facilities to assure access for all members of Rensselaer.
Dean of Students Mark Smith said in an e-mail to the RPI community, “Her legacy is the countless lives she has touched and improved by her sheer determination and commitment to positively affect the quality of life for Rensselaer students, staff, and faculty.”
A memorial service is to be held on the Rensselaer campus, which will be scheduled by her family in the near future.
Smith said, “She will be greatly missed by faculty, staff, students, and the Capital District Community Foundation for whom she was an articulate, compassionate advocate for people facing a range of disabilities.” | |
