Enjoy an afternoon of connection, creativity and community!

Raise a Mudder Mocktail, groove to music of the 70’s, get crafty with the makerspace stewards, snap fun photos, score some limited-edition swag and enjoy a slice of the anniversary cake. President Nembhard and fellow community members will share reflections and hopes for the decades ahead, and we’ll explore the Mudd Moments Mosaic—a vibrant collection of photos capturing the memories and milestones that define the Harvey Mudd experience.

Inspired by our past, embracing our future


Our founders envisioned a groundbreaking approach to undergraduate STEM education, integrating humanities, social sciences and arts to cultivate well-rounded leaders and compassionate problem solvers. This student-focused model would emphasize hands-on learning, exceptional teaching, and the interplay between science, engineering, and the human condition. Today, we proudly embrace our identity as the liberal arts college of science and engineering.
