Since the start of 2011 the world has witnessed triumph, tragedy, and challenges in the changes taking place in the Middle East, the earthquake in Japan, and more. All occurred at a rapid pace, made even more so by the speed of today’s instant communication. Horace Mann Magazine looks at how HM is responding to the need to educate students for lives in a global society brought increasingly closer through social media. We also look at some of the ways Horace Mann School alumni are interacting internationally today.
