This session is intended for sophomore and junior parents, but is open to all.
• Mudd pi Hunt: This fun event will take you on a journey through campus and end with a feast of pies. All you need is your wits, smart phone and, possibly, your student(s). Find more information online at

HMC Community Connections In recent months, alumni and parents around the country have gathered with faculty, staff and students in diverse locations, all in the name of connecting with each other and the College. In September, we offered our second annual Hollywood Bowl Pyrotechnics Tour and, over fall break, Professor Steve Adolph hosted our first weekend camping trip to Pismo Beach. Professor Gary Evans led meetings of the HMC Entrepreneurial Network in Seal Beach, Pasadena, San Francisco, Menlo Park, Seattle and Portland, some of which were attended by Professor Joe King and a few of Evans’ current students. Professors Jerry Van Hecke ’61 and Kerry Karukstis met with alumni in Chicago and Hong Kong, while Professor Erika Dyson discussed her latest research with alumni in Washington, D.C. Professor David Money Har- ris and Bill Hartman ’62 once again led our annual Mt. Baldy Hike. And, of course, we’ve offered an array of opportunities to join with fellow alumni of The Claremont Colleges in re- gional 5-C networking events and the bi-annual 7-C Worldwide Happy Hours.
