Alumni Resources/MyHilbert

Over the past several months, we have been collecting statements from our students and alumni regarding their gratitude for Hilbert College.  We asked them to complete the statement, "I am Hilbert because..." and we were amazed at the stories that some folks shared.  If you would like to contribute a special note or story about why "you are Hilbert' please e-email dmessinger@hilbert.edu.
