You know that feeling…when you’re deep into a problem, and for a moment the world drops away, and you’re alone with

your work, and in the space of what seems like a breath, the problem breaks, you see what you couldn’t have seen before, and then the moment passes and you’re back in the world, you feel like a diver returning to the water’s surface, and you know that you’ve done something new, built the unbuilt, imagined the impossible, and everything around you feels fresh and connected, a beautiful abstraction and a concrete truth.

We are that feeling. We’re the only college brave enough and crazy enough to nurture the next generation of fluid, fearless,

forward-looking scientists. We are Harvey Mudd College.
