CAMPUS CURRENT
Leading by Example STUDENT LEADERS CELEBRATED
Student-led Giving Campaign Successful
Instead of engaging only seniors in a giving campaign, all students were encouraged to work together to raise funds for something of great impor- tance: an endowed ASHMC Scholarship. The idea for a joint effort was sug-
Student leaders Brady Sutton ’13, Megan Wheeler ’13, Adam Brown ’13, Hannah Groshong ’13, Christian Stevens ’14 and Dustin Zubke ’13.
Student leaders have established the College’s colors, Honor Code and many other traditions (Wednesday Nighters, Foster’s Run and Skirt Day, to name a few). The College supports and encour- ages these leaders, who selfl essly perform many outstanding services, act as respon- sible role models and work to foster in others greater integrity, compassion and accountability. To formally acknowledge these standout members of the community, the Dean of Students Offi ce and the As- sociated Students of HMC presented the fi rst Student Leadership Awards celebra- tion in May. Honorees included those who have provided exceptional service as leaders on campus, plus scholarship and internship recipients. Maggie Browning, vice president and dean of students, led the proceedings.
Student Leadership Awards Selected to receive the group Student Leadership Award for their community outreach efforts and dedication to social equality in the sciences were Science Bus volunteers Priya Donti ’15, Kacyn Fujii ’13, Ji Su Lee ’15 and Aarthi Sridhar ’15.
Receiving an individual Student Leadership Award were Linde Activities Center Supervisor Garrett Menghini ’13 and HMC Math Club/SIAM student chapter Treasurer Elly Schofi eld ’13.
Dean Sundberg Prize Chosen as recipients of the $500 Dean Chris Sundberg Prize (established in 2009 by Dana Mohamed ’06) were President’s Scholar and Future Achievers in Science and Technology aide Sophia Williams ’15 and Science Bus volunteer Donti (who also served as its co-president).
Strauss Internship for Social Understanding HMC students interested in working with a community service organiza- tion participate in the 10-week Strauss Internship for Social Understanding, which includes up to $4,000 in support. Participants and their organizations are Natasha Allen ’16 (Potential Energy), Brittany Borg ’15 (Uncommon Good), Thendral Govindaraj ’16 (Claremont Home Energy Retrofi ts Project) and Emma Zang-Schwartz ’15 (The Well- ness Community).
gested, and discussions began between students and President Maria Klawe, Dean of Students Maggie Browning, Advancement Vice President Dan Ma- caluso and advancement staff. Discus- sions focused on developing a program that was primarily student driven and staff supported. The nearly 60 students involved in the effort, including ASHMC, developed a community-focused campaign that ran from April 10 to 24. The students raised $5,183 toward the scholarship and reached 36.2 percent in overall student participation (274 students). By class, participation was 45.3 percent for seniors (surpassing last year’s rate of 40 percent), 29.2 percent for juniors, 33.3 percent for sophomores and 36.5 percent for fi rst years (giving the seniors a close race right to the end). The Alumni Association Board of
Governors provided incentive funds to help the students increase their total toward the endowed scholarship. Several faculty and staff members also contributed to the ASHMC scholarship to help the students meet the $10,000 minimum to begin awarding the funds during the upcoming academic year. With the additional gifts from faculty, staff and alumni, the student campaign total was $12,383.
