The Harvey Mudd experience is fueled by a community that extends far beyond our campus borders. Our families bring a wealth of expertise, knowledge and leadership experience that directly impacts student success. Explore our volunteer pathways below and let us know your interests.
The transition to Harvey Mudd is a significant milestone. You can help ease this journey by sharing your personal “Mudd family” perspective with prospective parents, hosting a Summer Welcome Reception to connect with local incoming families or participating in outreach to ensure every new family feels a warm HMC welcome from day one.
Parent philanthropy ensures that every student has access to the resources they need to thrive. You can champion this mission by serving as a digital advocate during our high-energy Pi Day of Giving or by joining the Family Partners Circle (FPC), a dedicated group of leadership donors who help shape the future of the College through their generosity and advocacy.
Mudders are lifelong learners, and our community loves to hear from experts in any field. You can share your unique insights as a featured speaker for our “Mudd Talks” webinar series, host an informal “Mudd Chat” to mentor current students, or facilitate a specialized workshop designed to help our young alumni navigate their early professional years.
Your professional journey is a roadmap for our students. Whether you prefer to sit on a career panel, provide tactical support through resume reviews and mock interviews, or facilitate a deep-dive workshop on industry trends, your guidance is invaluable. You can even host a student for a job shadow opportunity to give them a firsthand look at your field in action.
Sometimes the greatest gift is a connection. You can help amplify the Harvey Mudd story by sharing college news within your own social networks, or by acting as a bridge between the College and your employer to explore internships and corporate partnerships. We also welcome introductions to thought leaders and philanthropic supporters who share our commitment to STEM excellence.
