Letter from the Chair of the Board of Trustees O
ur review of the 2010–11 academic year reveals an-
other year in which Harvey Mudd College has excelled at providing top-notch, innovative science and engineering educa- tion. Continued high rankings among U.S. higher education institutions, wins in national student gious
competitions, grants won by
presti- faculty
members, and the construction of the teaching and learning building are just a few of the highlights. As board chair since 2007, I have had the pleasure of work- ing alongside President Maria Klawe, a vibrant and effective leader, who led the establishment of HMC’s strategic vision. Since then, the six themes have provided a strong framework for changes that have occurred, some of which are highlighted in this annual report. The board of trustees has been adapting to help facilitate these necessary changes. During 2010–2011,
we welcomed five new members: James Bean ’77, senior vice president and provost at the University of Oregon; Tayloe Stans- bury, senior vice president and chief technology officer of Intuit; Ann McDermott ’81, a chemistry graduate and Esther Breslow Professor of Biological Chemistry at Columbia University; Greg Rae ’00, computer science graduate, former Google employee and Tony Award winner (see page 42); and John Vickery ’90/91, phys- ics/engineering graduate and a manager at Sony DADC. During the fall, the College celebrated the contributions of past trustees, who represented 130 years of combined service. Board members once again showed their support of the College by achieving a 100 percent participation goal for trustee annual giving. During my first year as board chair, I spoke of a coming transformation. Each year since, our incredible faculty, dedicat- ed staff, bright students as well as loyal donors and friends have provided the support needed to bring about necessary change. I have been inspired by the way the HMC community has united to accomplish its goals. A year’s worth of these accomplishments follows. No doubt, there are many more to come.
