Smittcamp volunteer activities plant the seeds for lifelong community engagement. On October 3rd, 2022, Matt Mealer gave a presentation at Honors Colloquium entitled “These Cliches I Know to be True: Four Hackneyed Life Lessons that Proved Hackneyed for Good Reason.”

In 2016, Chris became a sustaining donor to the Smittcamp Family Honors College to support scholarships for President’s Honors Scholars. When asked why he gives, he said, “I give to Smittcamp for one reason: gratitude.”
