 The McDaniel College Alumni Association proudly conferred a 2016 Alumni Community Service Award to Larry Schmidt '75 at the Alumni Association Awards Banquet on Fri., Oct. 21.
Larry’s crowning volunteer achievement is his time spent serving on the Board of Education in Baltimore County after being appointed by former Governor Martin O’Malley. He served on the Board for six years, three as President. Baltimore County is the sixth largest school system in the United States, with 110,000 students and a $1.5 billion budget. Larry compares serving on the organization’s board to being the Chairman of the Board at a Fortune 500 company.
Larry serves on the Board of Directors for the Greater Towson Committee, which fosters business opportunities and redevelopment in the Towson area. He has also volunteered his time for nearly 20 years at the Lutherville Timonium Recreation Council and was the President of the girls’ softball program. Additionally, Larry is on the Board of Directors for the Genesee Valley Outdoor Learning Center, which provides learning opportunities and team building skills to children and adults. He has been a volunteer attorney for more than 20 years for the Maryland State Mock Trial program, which engages students of both public and private schools to mimic real scenarios of court proceedings. Larry is very proud of the fact that his daughter was involved in the mock trial program and is now a practicing attorney.
