Full Bio


Carol Hamilton just retired after 30+ years in the Seattle Community College District, Carol was both an English teacher (Development English, English Composition, and Literature) as well as founder and director of the English Tutoring Center and union activist. Over her career she has influenced literally thousands of students to delve into literature so that they could learn the importance of stories -- their own and others. She challenged her students to explore and understand their own story. She spent 20+ years as a member of the Integrated Studies Committee at the college fighting for this kind of learning community for students. For twelve years, she has taught integrated studies courses with a myriad of faculty and disciplines.
