May 16, 2025

The collaboration led by: Anna Wise 

With collaborators: Omobonike Odegbami 

Headed by Dr. Omobonike Odegbami and Dr. Anna Wise, the GRRC will form a cross-campus initiative "Global Recruitment and Retention Committee" aimed at fostering a supportive, inclusive, best-in class living and learning environment for international students. This group would meet quarterly to ensure cross-campus collaboration, preparation and delivery of targeted support. Centralizing Hamilton's response to the current context for international applicants and students will allow the College to collaborate effectively and ensure 娇色导航remains a leader in global education and inclusion.

The proposal was submitted for SPARK funding (under $2,000) and was ranked medium with respect to the other proposals based upon the evaluation rubric.

The committee applauds the proposers for:

• A thoughtful strategy to expand and strengthen the support of International students.

The points that the committee recommends the proposers continue to develop include:

• Bring on more collaborators for developing this idea.
• Further develop a budget that takes into consideration the on-going costs and potential gaps identified by the new committee

From the committee’s perspective, the next phase of this project should include:

• Full review of potential collaborators and expansion as appropriate,
• Consideration of future and on-going costs, and 
• Submitting a budget for the 2026-27 budget request process to request the necessary budget to meet the goals of this committee going forward. 

The committee recommends funding the next phase of this proposal for $1,636 to move this idea forward for further aspirational design and development.
