What do a bunch of Mudders do when they’re all put in a room together? Well, your first thought might be “collaborate on homework” because we are all frosh going through the Harvey Mudd CORE curriculum together, after all. But that’s not exactly the core I have in mind. This article is for the students […]

The Muddraker is Harvey Mudd’s resident student newspaper, publishing new print and web issues once a semester. Their stories cover a variety of topics: this semester, they’re writing a profile on the Hoch and its inner workings, publishing an interview with Dean Marco, and describing different rites of passage for the majors on campus. Some […]

Good morning, afternoon or evening, prospective Mudders! At this point, you may have already heard that Mudd’s course load is very demanding. When I was applying to HMC, I remember reading on forums that I would be lucky to get 5 hours of sleep, and, as someone who can’t function without proper sleep, those posts […]

Who doesn’t love free food? Exactly—and if you agree, Mudd is the place for you! From events, presentations, to parties, free food is everywhere: here, you’ll never go hungry. Here are some of my experiences with cost-free Mudd munchies; enjoy! I’m a part of SWE on campus, or the Society of Women Engineers club at […]

Pre-pandemic, Mudd held two in person career fairs every semester in the Linde Activities Center (LAC). Usually, one was more computer science and engineering focused, while the other was  more general. Large crowds of people are no longer practical, so the Office of Career Services has shifted to offering online career fairs instead, in conjunction […]

Today, our club highlight is the Society of Women Engineers (SWE)!  As a SWE mentee who got a lot of good advice (and bread) last […]

Mudd has many wonderful traditions, but February brings my favorite of them! Near the beginning of the month, “Hoch Hearts” go up in our dining hall, placed by the Division of Student Affairs’ Muchachos, a group of students that organize fun events throughout the semester. The Hoch hearts are paper cut out hearts–one for each […]

Knowing how academics at Mudd can be time-consuming, one of the things that positively surprised me was Mudders’ participation in sports. Besides having friends in CMS (Claremont-Mudd-Scripps) teams, the Intramural Sports were one of the extracurricular activities which my friends enjoyed the most last semester. Intramural Sports are open and free for students, faculty, and […]

Hi! My name is Melis ’23. I am an Engineering major with a concentration in political studies. I am I chose HMC over other colleges because I really liked the community-based approach and our mission statement. I knew that I wanted to go to school somewhere where collaboration took priority over competition and Mudd excels […]
