HMC Grads Prepared to React
F
rom epoxy skateboard wheels to construction materials that make up our teaching and learning building, chemistry affects every aspect of our lives. We place our trust in chem- ists and other scientists to find solutions to some of the most pressing challenges of the world—security, energy, water, popu- lation and food. We trust that they will make thoughtful and strategic responses to these societal needs. HMC graduates are equipped to contribute to solutions in these important areas because the College has prepared them well. In this issue, we celebrate the International Year of Chem- istry and highlight a few of our 1,023 chemistry graduates who are using their liberal arts sensibilities and science knowledge to improve nearly every aspect of society. We are proud of all our alumni and of our current students
who are gaining the knowledge and experience they will need to join with others to build a better world. We celebrate their perseverance toward what will be a prestigious and—as recent national studies have shown—lucrative HMC degree. You’ll find many accomplishments—of students as well as fac-
ulty and staff—in the 2010–11 Annual Report included in this issue. Part reflection and celebration, this review is our way to showcase the academic year highlights so you can see what we’ve accomplished together. It takes all of HMC’s stakeholders to en- sure we continue to be guided by our mission and the six themes of our strategic vision. Let’s continue to work together to secure the College’s status as a leader in STEM higher education.
