CELEBRATING


FIVE YEARS OF HMC’S STRATEGIC VISION IN ACTION


20 Har vey Mudd College SUMMER 2011


ive years ago, the HMC community came together to examine all that it does, in view of the challenges and changes in the world today. Priorities were set around six themes:


F


Innovation, leadership, and impact, especially in engineer- ing, science and mathematics Focus on experiential and interdisciplinary learning Unsurpassed excellence and diversity at all levels Nurturing and developing the whole person Global engagement and informed contributions to society Improvement of infrastructure and resources to support HMC’s commitment to excellence and building community


Then, we rolled up our sleeves, and got down to work, mak- ing these goals a reality on campus, within the local community and abroad.


In just five years we’ve: Created new experiential learning opportunities Designed innovative interdisciplinary courses Revised the core curriculum to be as rigorous as ever yet flexible and innovative Introduced a new writing course to teach the communica- tion skills our students need to succeed as leaders Admitted the largest entering class of women in the College’s history Developed unique Clinic and Global Clinic opportunities with far-reaching impact Expanded our mentoring programs and Summer Institute Instituted methods to continually assess and improve our educational experience Approved plans for a new, state-of-the-art teaching and learning building


And, we’re just getting started. With help from philanthropic institutions, individual do- nors, and the hard work of our faculty, staff, students, alumni, trustees and friends, we’re making our vision a reality. Read about some of our creative, collaborative initiatives in the stories and timeline that follow.
