Aug 27, 2010 - Claremont, CA -

Harvey Mudd College’s innovative and renowned Clinic Program will begin the 2010-2011 year with its annual Orientation Day event for Clinic sponsors liaisons, HMC faculty advisors, Clinic directors, staff and more than 36 student teams on Thursday, Sept. 2, 2010.

A luncheon event will be held at the Linde Activities Center with John Vickery ‘90/’91 of Sony DADC providing the keynote address. This year’s Clinic leaders are professors R. Erik Spjut, engineering director, David Money Harris, engineering associate director; Richard Haskell, physics director; Susan Martonosi, mathematics director; Rachel Levy, mathematics associate director; Robert Keller, computer science director; and Lisette de Pillis, Global Clinic director.

Every year since the mid-1960s, Harvey Mudd College has celebrated the initiation of its Clinic Program activities with Orientation Day, which marks the first time Clinic sponsor liaisons get an opportunity to meet their Clinic teams and start planning the projects that culminate in May with Projects Day. By the time Projects Day rolls around on May 3, 2011, more than 1,300 projects will have been completed since the program was initiated in the mid-1960s, with more than 350 sponsors providing challenging projects for Mudd students.
