College chartered in 1950 as the first community college in the State University of New York. In 1954 he was appointed to the JCC Board of Trustees by Governor Thomas E. Dewey. He served in various leadership roles on the board of trustees and in 1969 served as acting president for the academic year. During the next several years, he played a significant role in the growth and development of the college. In recognition of his many years of support and dedication to the college, the JCC Collegiate Center was renamed the John D. Hamilton Collegiate Center in 1983. In September 1991, Mr. Hamilton resigned from the board of trustees, and later that fall, JCC honored him by naming John D. Hamilton the first trustee emeritus. In that capacity, he continues to serve and guide JCC today.
