President Barrack Obama has made some headlines worldwide after some of his answers given during his field house chat with Hamilton College President Steven J. Tepper. Obama spoke in front of more than 5,000 students, staff and guests on Thursday, April 3, 2025, and for the most part, his comments were quite inclusive and didn't reference current President Donald Trump; however, there were a few take-aways which did ultimately go viral.

Even history buffs might be surprised to know that Hamilton College in Clinton, one of America's oldest colleges, was initially founded in 1793 as a school for local American Indian and colonial settler children on land originally given by Oneida Indian Chief Shenendoah to Reverend Samuel Kirkland. When the then Hamilton-Oneida Academy was re-envisioned as Hamilton College in 1812, what began as a joint educational vision became focused solely on settler youth, omitting any commitment to educating Indigenous youth. Now, thanks to a $750,000 grant from the Mellon Foundation, Hamilton will be able to realize that original goal with the establishment of a program in American Indian and Indigenous Studies (AIIS).
