In its fiduciary role, the board holds title to the College\u2019s properties, and manages and allocates funds to fulfill the College\u2019s educational mission and provide for its future. The board is responsible for determining the broad policies under which Harvey Mudd operates, approving operating plans proposed by the president, granting degrees and for the appointment of academic officers and tenured faculty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The members of the board are drawn from the alumni body and from leaders from across the country. Almost half of the current trustees are alumni of the College, with three seats specifically reserved for young alumni, and one seat reserved for the immediate past president of the Alumni Association. The president holds a seat on the board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The board has an active program of trustee annual giving, with participation by 100 percent of the trustees. In addition to annual giving, the trustees, both individually and as a group, have been generous supporters of recent capital campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Why Join the Board of Trustees of Harvey Mudd College?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/c94dSVxM81k?wmode=transparent&amp;rel=0&amp;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Members of the Board of Trustees of Harvey Mudd College share why they joined the board and what they enjoy about being a trustee.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mudd-highlighted-content\">Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/presidents-office\/college-leadership\/bot-announcements\/\">Board of Trustees Announcements<\/a> for summaries of board meetings and related activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Harvey Mudd College President Harriet Nembhard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/presidents-office\/\">Harriet Nembhard<\/a> became the sixth president of Harvey Mudd College in 2023 and is the chief executive officer of the College.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">President\u2019s Cabinet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/presidents-office\/college-leadership\/cabinet\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"499\">The President\u2019s Cabinet<\/a> is Harvey Mudd\u2019s senior leadership, representing all areas of the College.
