Make an Impact

and Win!

Since the HMC Impact Project Alumni Survey launched this past fall, nearly 1,200 alumni have participated in the effort. This means that over 20 percent of the total alumni body has responded to the survey. And we’re not done yet—all that is missing is your story! The survey will conclude on June 30, 2010.

To ensure the best possible response rate, all survey participants will be entered in a drawing to win one of three iPod nanos*, and for the grand prize of a new iPad!** Visit www.hmc.edu/survey today to take the survey. It will only take a few minutes of your time and truly helps the college have a better understanding of the impact HMC alumni are making on the world. For information, contact hilary_dildine@hmc.edu.

And congratulations to everyone who won the HMC Maglights®

the survey respondents during the month of December.
