“Being involved with Max’s school has always been something I enjoyed, so [volunteering] was a no-brainer for me. What I didn’t know, and have since discovered, is how terrific the HMC community is. I felt an immediate sense of connection with almost everyone I met: faculty, students and parents. I attribute this to the fact that HMC is small, with a unique campus culture that fosters sustainable, lifelong connections. I can honestly say I’ve never met a kinder or more interesting group of people, and I know Max would say the same.”
