Stuart Chmielewski, ’05
English Visitor Services Assistant Manager, Minnesota Children’s Museum “I began to do volunteer work while I was in college, and it helped me realize I enjoy working with children and set me on my current career path. It is easier to find rewarding volunteer work when so many of your classmates are involved and it’s a part of campus culture. “Hardwick also gave me opportunities to lead groups of students with varied backgrounds and skills, and that experience has helped me manage a diverse team at work that includes all ages, immigrants and refugees, and people with disabilities.”
