PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Teaching and Learning A
s did my predecessors, I believe that Harvey Mudd College has a responsibility to lead the way in science, technology, engineering and mathematics education. Over the years,
we have continued to build upon success after success. Today, we are on the cusp of a transformation nearly two decades in the making. On Jan. 29, 2011, the Harvey Mudd College Board of
Trustees voted in favor of proceeding with the construction of a new teaching and learning building, the first such space to be erected on campus since the Olin Science Center was built in 1993. The new building will replace the cramped and out- moded Thomas-Garrett Hall (dedicated in 1962), with nearly 70,000 square feet of programmable space. It will double the teaching and learning space available to faculty and students, truly transforming the teaching and learning experience at HMC (more details on page 4). Our facilities have served us well for our first 55 years, but
as the College continues to develop as a world-class institution (with graduates earning the highest starting salaries of any un- dergraduate institution in the U.S.), it’s time to move forward. We want our faculty to have the best teaching environments possible. Our students deserve first-class facilities to help them become the creative and collaborative leaders this nation urgently needs.
Considering all of the amazing things HMC faculty and students have accomplished, to date, with such limited space and inflexible facilities, it’s exciting to consider the possibilities that will be created by this amazing new building! Just as our innovative alumni educators are transforming the lives of their students (see features, beginning on page 14), the new teaching and learning building will transform this amazing institution. As we move forward with construction and search for a major gift to name the building, I am encouraged by the many alumni and other friends of the College I have met on campus and during my travels, all of whom share this vision: that HMC not only will, but must, remain a leader in STEM education in the 21st century. Harvey Mudd College will soon be better equipped to carry out this mandate. I thank you for your continued support.
Maria Klawe President, Harvey Mudd College
