Design Approved for Teaching and Learning Building

Taylor

The HMC Board of Trustees approved the design of the innovative teaching and learning building which will provide students with state-of-the-art laboratory and classroom facilities that will create a cross-disciplinary, exciting learning environment. The building will be fi nanced entirely through private fundraising, not tuition. HMC is currently seeking support through major gifts to enable the building to open for the 2012 entering class.

Taylor and Jonsson, Steadfast Dedication

Harvey Mudd College Trustee Trude C. Taylor, whose service to the college spanned fi ve decades, died Feb. 22 at the age of 86. He was co-chair with trustee Walter Foley ‘69 of the 1989-94 Campaign for Harvey Mudd College, HMC’s last comprehensive fund-raising campaign, which raised $75.5 million.

Trustee Ken Jonsson, who served the college for

37 years, died Mar. 15, at the age of 79. Following the success of the Jonsson Communications Corporation, a media company he founded in 1955, he established the Kenneth Jonsson Family Foundation to support medical research and higher education. He joined the HMC Board of Trustees in 1973, and last year was named an emeritus member and received an Alumni Association Lifetime Recognition Award. He and his wife, Diana, contributed signifi cantly to the college’s endowment and scholarship programs; they established the Kenneth and Diana Jonsson Professorship of Mathematics endowment and created the Jonsson Endowed Fund for Mathematics Department Travel.
