PRISM, People Respecting Individuals' Sexualities at Mudd, is HMC's gay-straight alliance. Chartered by ASHMC in the fall of 1999, PRISM meetings provide a comfortable gathering place for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning and straight students, faculty and staff to meet and discuss the LGBT experience here. The group works to make Mudd a place where all people are welcomed, safe and respected, regardless of their sexuality. PRISM, while specific to HMC, has ties to the other 5-C LGBT organizations, including the Queer Resource Center at Pomona and its Queer, Questioning and Allied Mentor Program (QQAMP).
