When we wrote our last update we were looking forward to Parents’ Weekend, but now we’re excited to tell you about Parents’ Weekend, along with some of the other things that have been happening around campus this past week. We were quite excited to have so many guests on campus a few weekends ago. They flew in […]

If you are thinking about the HMI Semester or Summer Term, take a look at our schedule of evening presentations to see if we are coming to a city near you. We’ll be visiting Louisville, Brooklyn, Los

We made it! While we’re glad to be back in the warm buildings of HMI, our expedition groups had a lot of great adventures. Each of the groups spent a number of days base-camping while doing trail work with the Colorado Fourteeners Initiative (CFI). Afterward, we spent some time backpacking through the mountains. While it seemed
