Hamlin is a vibrant and inclusive community that expects and encourages diversity of thought, experience, and beliefs. Thus, we actively seek the honest perspectives of people who differ from each other in culture, ethnicity, family structure, financial resources, gender identity, learning profile, physical ability, race, religion, and sexual orientation. All members of the Hamlin community share responsibility for its well-being, and each person plays an active role in making space for us to be our authentic selves. We join this community with a courageous commitment to personal and collective growth. We show compassion to each other, knowing that true learning involves mistakes and imperfection. We treat each other with respect as we celebrate both our interdependence and our individual differences.
Our food program is not only central to our commitment to health and wellness at Hamlin; the program also deepens the sense of belonging and inclusivity that is felt on our campus. The Hamlin food program celebrates the ethnic and religious diversity of the community; our time spent in the dining room reinforces the simple yet profound goals of learning from each other, respecting and valuing our differences, and building a joyful community.
