The HMC Underwater Robotics Club hopes to compete at the international level.
Underwater Robotics Club Enters Global Contest The Underwater Robotics Club will compete in the Marine Ad- vanced Technology Education (MATE) Radio Operated Vehicle (ROV) 2011 World Competition. Held to promote awareness of marine technical careers and the role ROVs play in the off- shore oil and gas industry, the international event challenges students to complete underwater missions using ROVs they design and build. The club’s craft will face its first competitive run May 14 at
the regional qualifying competition at Long Beach City College. A successful performance will allow the team to move forward to the World Competition on June 17 in Houston.
Roxie Bartholomew ’12
Ché onore! Roxie Bartholomew ’12, who is cur- rently studying in Italy, was named a Robert Day Scholar for the master’s program in finance at Claremont McKenna College. The Robert Day Scholars Program prepares highly mo- tivated students for leadership roles in business, finance, government and not-for-profit organizations.

Bartholomew is an engineering major interested in work- ing in the sustainability sector and helping companies decrease their costs and their carbon footprint. She worked last summer with the energy retrofit group Sustainable Claremont as a par- ticipant in the Strauss Internships for Social Understanding. Bartholomew plans to attend graduate school to study engineer- ing or business administration. While in Italy, Bartholomew is learning Italian and tak- ing a class on Italian history and culture. “I also am taking an engineering course taught in Italian at the University of Parma and doing a research project with an Italian student modeling geothermal pumps,” she said. She added that she is traveling throughout Italy—Florence, Rome, Venice—and “eating lots and lots of pasta!” The Robert Day Scholar Program endeavors to produce leaders with both a broad perspective and a deep understanding of financial economics.
Insider Tells All Engineering major Yih-Jye Edward Wang ’12 has helped potential Mudders get “true insider insight” about the College by contributing to the College Prowler: Harvey Mudd College edition. The guidebook is de- signed—according to College
editors—to give readers “honest information and a
realistic impression of the student opinions on any campus.” “It was interesting to see how the school has changed over
the years and even more interesting to see how some quirky tra- ditions have really stuck around,” said Wang who updated and revised HMC’s entry. He thinks his research will help potential students decide if
Mudd is for them. “Harvey Mudd is a rather different school, filled with its unique quirks and students with vivid personali- ties across the spectrum. Because of that, it is important that a student can read about the school not just in the context of its superior academic programs.” HMC is one of 200 schools covered in College Prowler
guidebooks.
