| Volunteers at HCC add to the diversity
of the campus and enhance the sense of community by their presence.
The significance of volunteers is measured in gratitude rather
than by monetary compensation. Their value is beyond price. |

The history of volunteering at Hagerstown Community College is
long. Perhaps the earliest volunteering was done by Dr. Mable Walter
and her company of “Arboretum” volunteers when the Arboretum
came into being in 1970. Those volunteers worked diligently to make
HCC the beautiful campus it is today. Friends of Hagerstown Community
College Gardens, the College’s own garden club is carrying
on the work of those earlier volunteers.
The Athletic, Recreation and Community Center senior volunteers
have provided assistance to staff and students since 1988. In addition,
they have made significant contributions to the Foundation endowment
for student scholarships.
There are a variety of opportunities for volunteering at HCC. A
person can volunteer on a weekly schedule in some specific area
of the College or sign on to help with a short-term project or special
event. Volunteers are officially appointed by HCC’s Board
of Trustees each semester.
Volunteers at HCC are recognized yearly for the time they commit
to the College and for the immeasurable talent they so willingly
offer. |
