Our Commitment: Supporting A Thriving Community

As part of the goals outlined in our STEM for a Better World strategic plan, Harvey Mudd College supports our students, alumni, staff and faculty in leading fulfilling lives and making positive contributions to our campus and to society. Our campus serves as a hub of connection, offering the physical space, programs and resources needed to foster social and cultural support, personal growth and the development of impactful lives.

Promoting a Safe and Secure Campus

Our priority is to ensure the health and safety of all members of the Harvey Mudd College community.

California Senate Bill 98 (SB 98), which was signed into law on Sept. 20, 2025, requires California K-12 schools, community college districts, California State Universities (CSUs), and Cal Grant-qualified independent institutions (including Harvey Mudd College) to immediately notify students, staff and faculty when federal immigration enforcement is present on campus.

In compliance with California State law (SB 98), members of the community will receive notification from Campus Safety in the event immigration enforcement is confirmed on campus. Information about the Mudd Alert system, including how to sign up for notification on your mobile phone, can be found in the Emergency Preparedness and Safety section of this site.

To Report an Incident

Faculty, staff, and students who wish to report an emergency, or who wish to report the suspected presence of immigration enforcement on any of the campuses, should immediately contact Campus Safety by calling 909.607.2000 (7-2000 from a campus phone). DO NOT try to physically intervene. Tell the agent that you are not authorized to grant access and you must contact Campus Safety.
