A COMMON BOND | MULTIPLE MISSIONS


The International Year of Chemistry 2011 (IYC2011) is a worldwide celebration of the achievements of chemistry and its contributions to the well-being of humankind. HMC marked IYC2011 with the Dr. Bruce J. Nelson ’74 Distinguished Speaker Series (see page 6), highlighting chemistry’s place as the central science contributing to a greener environment, new materials and advances in medicine. In this issue of the HMC Bulletin, you’ll find alumni leaders working in fields as diverse as secondary education, materials science, green manufacturing, biotechnology and winemaking. This small sample high- lights how our alumni have integrated their solid technical background, understanding of the humanities, social sciences and the arts, and training in chemistry to address important challenges. In addition to those profiled here, we have chemistry alumni raising families and practicing the fine arts, intellectual property law, journalism, and investment banking, to name a few of their more challenging endeavors. Through our alumni, you can see chemistry’s scope as a liberal art for the 21st century.
