Puzzle-palooza
Student News
Junior Palmer Mebane celebrated victory with his U.S. teammates at the 19th World Puzzle Championship Oct. 24-29 in Paprotnia, Poland. The annual U.S. and world Puzzle Championships pit puzzlers against one another in an attempt to solve language-neutral logic puzzles. Competitors win points for success and accuracy.
The U.S. team, which placed second last year behind Germany, is 11-6-1—gold, silver, bronze— in the 18 editions of the World Puzzle Championship.
Mebane, a mathematics major, placed third at the U.S. Puzzle Championship, which earned him a spot on the U.S. team.
Mebane believes creating his own puzzles contributed to his success. “Puzzle construction improves solving ability, too,” he said.
Give your brain a workout with this logic challenge from Mebane’s puzzle blog. He describes it as “one of my better ones in terms of quality, both due to aesthetics and the solve.”
Castle Wall Instructions Some cells contain a number and arrow; these cells are either white or black. The object is to draw a single closed loop passing through adjacent squares. Squares with a number and arrow in them may not be included in the loop. All of the black cells must be outside of the loop, and all of the white cells must be inside of the loop. Furthermore, if a cell has a left or right arrow, the number in that cell tells the total length of horizontal segments in the arrow’s direction. Likewise, if there is an up or down arrow, the number tells the total length of vertical segments. Equivalently, the number tells how many boundaries in the arrow’s direction are crossed by the path. The solution is unique. Find an example problem and solution here: http://mellowmelon.wordpress.com/castle-wall/

Vehicles with a Mind of their Own
A new first-year elective, Autonomous Vehicles, allows students to design and build their own robots. Engineering professors David Harris and Nancy Lape along with computer science Professor Zach Dodds and two student assistants, have developed a very hands-on course that involves soldering parts onto a printed circuit board, programming robots, learning a 3-D computer-aided design software program to build the robot chassis and 3-D printing the robot chassis. In addition to adding their own creativity to the robots (including programmed songs), students also learn about and employ communications methods used in phones and GPS units, using optical methods to guide their robots. They also build their own fuel cells which are used to power the beacons for the course’s main event— the Capture the Flag competition, which requires the robots to seize beacons (fuel-cell powered LED’s, whose colors change depending on who has claimed it).

Smile, SpongeBob!
A new kind of underwater webcam—the descendent of a prototype designed in 2001 by a HMC Clinic team—will soon be scanning the oceans in search of bioluminescent deep-sea creatures.
The Ocean Research and Conservation Association (ORCA) will launch the innovative camera, which uses infrared light to spy on seldom-seen deep-sea animals capable of generating and emitting light.
HMC alumni Nicholas Depail ’02., David Levitt ’02, Jane Mi ’01, Christine Paulson ’02 and John Staroba ’01, advised by Associate Professor of Engineering Lori Bassman, collaborated with ORCA president and senior scientist Edith Widder to develop and build the camera as their Clinic project, “Eye in the Sea: Unobtrusive Biological Observatory.”
Into Africa: Mudders Help Provide Water, Light for Kenyan Village
A team of three Harvey Mudd College students and their faculty advisor engineered around unforeseen challenges last summer to complete a water purification system in rural Ngomano, Kenya.
Rob Best ’10, Isabel Bush ’12 and Evann Gonzales ’12, traveled to Kenya with HMC physics Professor Peter Saeta as members of Engineers for a Sustainable World/Mudders Organizing for Sustainability Solutions.
As they were installing a new solar-powered electric pump for the village well, the main pipe broke loose and fell to the bottom of the 50-meter shaft. The team then had to devise a way to recover the pipe using whatever materials they could find in the village. Displaying MacGyver-like resourcefulness, they improvised three tools that enabled them to hook and retrieve the pipe.
The team also wired a system that diverted excess energy from the new pump’s solar panels to provide electric lighting in the village school—a first that prompted the Kenyan teachers and students to dance for joy.
“Trips like this really enhance learning and understanding of what HMC stands for,” Best said. “We think a lot about how we can impact our own world and often forget that there are other ‘worlds’ here on Earth where simple efforts can mean a lot.”

Electric Ride
CHET CORCOS ’13 BUILDS A PLUG-IN TRUCK
HOMETOOLED: My dad works on classic cars, and we have a shop in our yard. My first car was a classic ’65 Malibu that I built with my dad my freshman year of high school. So I had a good base in mechanical tools. Then I got an internship at UC Davis, working with Dr. Andy Frank [a professor of mechanical and aeronautical engineering known as the father of modern plug-in hybrid electric vehicles], and I learned a lot about electronics.
JUMPSTART FROM DAD: The summer before my senior year, Dad suggested that I build an electric truck. He helped me and funded it. I bought a ’99 Chevy S10 that had a blown motor and a cracked block. I got it cheap. BIG JOB: We ripped everything out; all we needed was the chassis. We got a 100-horsepower electric motor and mounted it to the transmission. We had to get a controller, power brakes and power steering, a charger, a DC converter, and 20 6-volt, deep-cycle batteries, and much more—a lot went into designing it. We had a lot of components that had to fit in a small space. The biggest challenge was getting it all to work. We had to call the manufacturers to make sure we were wiring things right. DASH OR CHARGE: It’s a completely electric truck. How long it runs on a charge is dependent on where you’re driving. I had no problems driving around town. Dad made it 20 miles on the freeway. TICKET TO COLLEGE: Cars got me into college. What set me apart was I had something I did, something I could write my essays on. Now I’m studying engineering because I like building things that are cool.

Nakamura’s Legacy
CREATING A RENEWABLE RESOURCE TIRE
Written by KOREN WETMORE Photography by ANDY BOONE
When John Dunlop introduced the first pneumatic tire in 1888, it was made of sustainable, natural rubber. As the auto industry grew, the demand for better performance and lower price moved tire design toward synthetic materials made from crude oil. Then the loss of access to natural rubber sources during World War II cinched it: synthetic was the only source for American tires.
It would take more than 100 years and researchers such as Aki Nakamura ’66 to return the tire to its sustainable beginnings without losing desired performance.
Yet tire technology was the last thing on Nakamura’s mind when he received a scholarship to attend Harvey Mudd College. Although a mechanical engineering major, his computer science courses at HMC sparked a fascination with the role computers play in daily life. He later merged his passions by pursuing a master’s degree in software engineering from the University of Tokyo. This contributed to his success, as computers played a key role in his career.
“Our generation lived through the computer age,” says former classmate Craig Van Degrift ’66. “And Aki was intelligent and serious about learning.”
Following graduate school, Nakamura began working for Sumitomo Electric where he designed electronic controllers and later developed software for the auto industry. In 1994, he transferred to Sumitomo Rubber Industries to lead the company’s research and development department. It was an exciting time as Sumitomo had just purchased the Dunlop tire brand and Nakamura’s team was poised to pioneer a new tire design method. While other industry engineers relied on physical tests, Nakamura and his team used computer simulations to estimate a tire’s performance before it was manufactured. The method proved useful for analyzing potential defects and their causes, but many engineers were so resistant to the new technology that it took a natural disaster to convince them of its value.
“The main reason that forced them to accept the computer model instead of the real tire model was that the 1995 Kobe earthquake damaged many of the test machines they relied on,” Nakamura says. “They had to use any substitute for the designing of tires.”
With the success of computer modeling, Nakamura began using the technology to address the challenges of producing a sustainable product. His dream was to create a tire made entirely of non-petroleum material to remove reliance on fossil fuels such as oil and coal. This would require a return to using natural rubber derived from trees.
The challenge was how to solve natural rubber’s Catch-22: its smooth, long fibers reduce a tire’s rolling resistance, resulting in better gas mileage but also a weaker grip on the road.
Nakamura’s team resolved this issue by chemically modifying the natural rubber with Epoxy resin (producing epoxydized natural rubber, or ENR). They further reduced the petroleum content by using non-petroleum carbon black filler and vegetable oils (in place of its petroleum equivalent), reinforcing the compounds with plant fibers. The result was a 97-percent renewable resource tire with good grip performance. Released as the Enasave tire in March 2008, it boasts a 30-percent reduction in rolling resistance and up to a 3-percent improvement in fuel economy.
This significantly reduces a tire’s carbon footprint, as rolling resistance—which causes higher fuel consumption—represents a tire’s biggest environmental impact, according to a life-cycle assessment by European tire and rubber manufacturers. “The biggest challenge of this century for transportation professionals is to develop ways to make our transportation systems sustainable,” says researcher Elizabeth Deakin of UC Berkeley who specializes in the environmental impacts of transportation. “Aki Nakamura’s tire design shows how creative thinking and strong engineering skills can combine to advance the state of the art and improve the lives of millions of transport users.”
Nakamura credits his HMC advisor for helping him make the connection between science and daily life by encouraging him to explore piano and literature. “Liberal arts give you a notion of people’s life, society and history,” he says. “In later years, my decision making was always not what comes of this project, but how it is related to people’s life and in what way. Life first, engineering later.”
Now retired, Nakamura’s legacy will be Sumitomo’s introduction of a 100-percent petroleum-free tire by 2013.

Synthetic Tire’s Carbon Footprint
With one glance at the carbon footprint of a standard, synthetic tire, you can appreciate the value of Nakamura’s work toward a renewable resource tire:
• More than a half-million barrels of crude oil are used daily to make feedstock for making plastics, asphalt and tires. • A projected 282 million tires will be manufactured this year. • It takes about seven gallons of oil to produce a standard tire (five to produce the chemical feedstock to make synthetic rubber and two to provide energy for the manufacturing process). • The average tire contains 60 percent synthetic rubber. • The transportation industry accounts for about one-third of the nation’s greenhouse gas emissions.
THE hi-TecH highway
Written by KOREN WETMORE Photography by SETH AFFOUMADO
The pioneering work of Ging Ging Liu Fernandez ’98 is helping to pave the way for a safer, more sustainable transportation system—one that may eventually shift drivers to the passenger seat.
Imagine a world where you step inside your car and it—not you—does the driving. Such was the vision of young Ging Ging Liu Fernandez ’98 as a girl being shuttled round by her mom to school and other activities. Although it sounds like science fiction, much of the necessary technology now exists. Some of you may have held it in your hand.
From traffic cameras and wireless networks to global positioning systems and cell phones, many familiar tools support the field of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), which is poised to transform both our driving experience and our world. It’s a technological wave surging the nation and Fernandez is delighted to be riding it.
“With a background in communications engineering, ITS was the perfect match for me,” Fernandez said. “I wasn’t great at designing new devices or coming up with new theory, but I love technology and there is so much potential for improving our lives through making transportation more efficient through applications of technology.” The breadth of ITS is astonishing. It includes systems for traffic signal timing, computer-aided dispatch, on-board vehicle navigation, vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-toinfrastructure integration, electronic tolling, and even collision-avoidance technologies. In short, it is an “infostructure” for the infrastructure. IntelliDrive, a federal program to create a nationwide intelligent transportation network, represents one of the largest research and rollouts of the technology in America. The system will allow vehicles to send and
receive anonymous information—such as hazard warnings and traffic conditions—between each other and the surrounding infrastructure. Equipped with an on-board unit that houses a processor, GPS receiver and Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) transceiver, vehicles cull information such as speed, position and braking from an array of internal sensors and transmit the data to other vehicles and roadside sensors. Fernandez helped with IntelliDrive’s vehicle-to-vehicle communication testing from 2007 to 2008, creating sample applicaThanks! tions to showcase what’s possible when vehicles report to each other key information about accidents, travel delays and road conditions. Such data can help drivers make better decisions, such as changing routes or schedules to avoid hazardous condiGot it. tions or traffic jams, Fernandez said. It also helps traffic managers to reroute traffic and adjust signal light timing to reduce congestion, she said. All Electronic Tolling (AET), another ITS application, also smooths traffic flow by replacing toll plazas with gantry-mount-
Snowstorm Downloading data ed sensors that communicate with passing vehicles’ transponders on 118. from roadside sensors. or motorists’ mobile phones to record and collect toll fees. For vehicles without mobile accounts, the system uses cameras to snap photos of vehicle license plates and mails invoices to the registered owners. Sig alert on Fernandez worked on a San Francisco Bay area AET project Highway 60. this year, studying traffic flow simulations to determine which payment methods (mobile phones, pre-paid credit cards, etc.) work best to ensure both accurate billing and efficient traffic flow. Such research supports sustainability, because idling vehicles not only waste time but also produce more emissions. In fact, an Information Technology and Innovation Foundation report states an intelligent transportation network can drop carbon dioxide emissions by 20 percent. Already available in test stretches of roadway in Michigan and California, IntelliDrive technology could begin deployment as early as 2013, but government action may be required to speed the process.
Thanks.
Highway 18 closed. Detour to 110 east.
Yet, it may prove easier to connect vehicles with infrastructure than scientific vision with political protocol.
“Engineers and policy makers typically don’t see eye-to-eye,” said Fernandez, who has often served as an interpreter between the two. “What I have to do is try to understand both the motivations of the policy maker and the technical details to bridge the gap and draw them closer. You can almost see that light bulb turn on if you’ve made the right connections.”
With physical space and budget limits, our nation can no longer solve its transportation challenges by building more highways, but must rely on ITS to get the most out of an existing system, said Emily Fishkin, spokeswoman for the Intelligent Transportation Society of America.
“We don’t have a lot of people in transportation that can understand both the industry and the high tech aspects of it,” Fishkin said. “So, Ging Ging is quite valuable. We need people like her.”
The ability to possess such a wide perspective while grasping the technological detail was a skillset acquired during her years at HMC, Fernandez said.
“Harvey Mudd challenged me to understand more than I thought I could: a large scope in excruciating detail. Working in this fashion, you are able to talk to both the policy minded and the technical minded, and stay up to date in a fast-paced, high-tech world,” she said.
By 2055, that world may include a self-driving vehicle, predicts Stanford scientist Sebastian Thrun, who emphasizes the need to build an intelligent infrastructure to support it.
Interestingly, Fernandez’s work will help lay the foundation for such a vehicle, promoting the possibility of her childhood vision becoming reality.
Congestion Costs
Traffic jams and delays spend more than just your patience. The following data show they also consume time, money and fuel. Each year in the U.S., traffic congestion:
• Causes 4.2 billion hours extra drive time • Costs about $87.2 billion in wasted time and fuel • Costs the average urban driver $757 • Wastes 2.8 billion gallons of fuel

ENERGY THAT’S GOOD TO GO Written by Doug McInnis
Keith Blackburn’s new device may capture transit car braking energy
and use it to power urban transit systems.
f Keith Blackburn ’87 has his way, hybrid cars and subway cars will soon have something in common—both will use their stopping power to make them go.
Hybrid automobiles already do this. They use regenerative braking systems to slow down, converting motion energy into electrical energy. This energy helps recharge the battery that powers the car. Subway cars use similar regenerative braking systems, but the electrical energy they produce is bled off as heat because there’s no practical way to store it.
That may change. Keith and several other New York entrepreneurs have developed a device they call the wayside energy storage system that would capture transit car braking energy and use it to power urban transit systems. The device could slash transit-system energy costs by up to 20 percent, he says. “If we can do this, it would also take a load off power systems, and help cut global warming.”
In the past, technical problems kept transit systems from re-using this energy. Batteries charged too slowly to capture the massive surge of energy produced by a slowing train. “A train may slow down in 20 seconds,” he says. “You can’t charge a battery in 20 seconds.” Another storage device—called a capacitor—charged quickly, but lacked much storage capacity.
Then came the invention of ultracapacitors, which hold thousands of times more energy than their predecessors. “High-capacity ultracapacitors have only been around a few years,” says Keith, who believes they offer the solution to transit-system energy losses.
If the group’s device is successful, the potential market includes subways, light rail and trolleys. “The real value is in the inner city where trains stop frequently,” Keith says. “Every time they come into a station, they’re putting on the brakes.” But there are other possible markets. “We’ve also heard from a couple of wind turbine companies.”
After earning an engineering degree at Harvey Mudd, Keith worked for a Los Angeles company that handled defense contracts, among other things. Seventeen years ago, he decided he needed a change. “I was seeking a change in environment—country living where there’s no traffic and plenty of water. I also felt morally motivated to steer clear of product development intended for use by our military and intelligence agencies for offensive purposes.” He landed in rural western New York working for a transit company. His road since has been bumpy; transit manufacturers run on a boom-bust cycle. His first transit employer went bankrupt and he has worked for four others.
Keith and his colleagues were all transit-company engineers when they decided to form their startup, Electrical Power worX. Although they still had jobs, they faced an uncertain future; Keith’s employer had already slashed its New York payrolls by more than 90 percent.
Now they may have an option if their day jobs disappear. In today’s economy, one of the fastest ways to get a job is to create it. Says Keith, “We had some ideas we wanted to pursue. And we wanted to have more control over our destiny.”

Late October 2009, Chris Alef and his wife, Corinne, brought their foster baby, Natalie Gail (born Oct. 21, 2009), home from the hospital. Four days later they discovered that Corinne was pregnant with their son, Graeme Michael, (born June 29, 2010). Chris says, “Raising siblings just eight months apart has been really challenging thus far, and we expect it to get even more challenging once they’re both mobile. I consider my years of sleep deprivation at Mudd to be excellent training for this stage of our lives. Natalie and Graeme became Natalie Gail and fast friends and are already playing toGraeme Michael Alef gether. Although Natalie is the big sister, we expect Graeme to be larger than her by his first birthday. In our school district, they are close enough in age to enter kindergarten in the same year.” 1997 Wendy Panero, assistant professor, School of Earth Sciences, Ohio State University, returned to campus Oct. 26 to speak at the Physics Colloquium on “The New Mineralogy and Chemistry of the Earth’s Inner Core.” Recent seismic results suggest that the inner core is undergoing a dynamic process of unknown origin. Wendy’s talk presented new methods for measuring transport properties under the high-pressure, hightemperature conditions of the Earth’s Wendy Panero ’97 core, combining synchrotron-based Xray experiments at high pressure and temperature with post-run focused-ion beam milling and transmission electron microscopy.
Wendy received her Ph.D. in geophysics at UC Berkeley in 2001 with an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. She was a Turner Postdoctoral
Fellow at the University of Michigan before joining the faculty at The Ohio
State University in 2005, and currently holds an NSF CAREER award. 1999 Kevin Moore addressed “Physicists in Medicine—From Battling
Griffiths’ Problems to Battling Cancer” Nov. 2 during an HMC Physics Department Colloquium. Kevin is an instructor in the Department of Radiation
Oncology, Washington University School of Medicine. His talk surveyed the myriad roles physicists play in the medical field, with a special focus on a medical physicist’s responsibilities in the treatment of cancer with ionizing radiation. Kevin talked about the training/certification requirements for clinical physicists and why the field would benefit greatly from more
Mudd grads pursuing careers in medical physics. “Medical physicists who specialize in radiation oncology are vital to assuring the safe and accurate delivery of therapeutic radiation to cancer patients,” he said. 2000 Astronaut Scholar Belinda Shreckengost is one of those spotlighted on the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation website. She works as a thermal engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and is pursuing a master’s degree in astronautics at the University of Southern California.
Belinda hopes to help society gain a better understanding of Earth in order to take care of our environment.
The story reads, in part: “Belinda recently concluded thermal vacuum testing to qualify hardware for flight on a project called Juno, which will launch in 2011 to study Jupiter. The unprecedented mission will perform an in-depth study of the planet to understand its formation, evolution and structure and provide a way of tracing the history of the solar system and the conditions which led to the creation of Earth and mankind.
“In the coming year, Belinda will also support the Orbiting Carbon
Observatory (OCO-2) which will measure carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere to gain a better perspective of its effects on the climate and surroundings. The research will help people make better decisions to ensure climate stability and retain a healthy quality of life.”
REUNION YEAR 2001 Tyson Macdonald has published four papers. They include “Agricultural Ammonia Sensor Using Diode Lasers and Photoacoustic Spectroscopy;” “High Sensitivity, High Selectivity Detection of Chemical Warfare

William A. Mingst | Chair Harvey Mudd College Board of Trustees
Look no further for the nation’s next science and technology leaders and those who will responsibly shape the world. Harvey Mudd College is committed to providing the world with such leaders, and we aim to do so knowing just how crucial our mission has become during this time of economic challenge and opportunity. I am pleased to report that HMC’s achievements—again—are reflected in prestigious rankings of America’s liberal arts and technical colleges. In 2010, U.S. News and World Report placed HMC among the top 20 best liberal arts colleges in the nation. Our generous financial aid program earned us Princeton Review’s “best-value” ranking—fourth among liberal arts colleges. And Payscale, an online salary information company, reported that HMC alumni earn an average salary, mid-career, of $126,000, ahead of MIT, Caltech, Harvard and Princeton. Our dedication to preparing our students to serve the public good was rewarded by a sixth-place ranking among service-oriented liberal arts colleges by Washington Monthly. The achievements of the Board of Trustees are also noteworthy. The board overwhelmingly approved the program and schematic design for the new teaching and learning building that will be constructed when we have solidified major donor support. The dynamic design will engage students and faculty and stimulate excitement about learning.Board members continue to support the College’s key programs. They showed their dedication in this regard by meeting the College’s 100 percent participation goal for trustee annual giving. Two of our newest board members, Neil Chriss and Peter Muller, support the President’s Scholars Program, which enables the education of underrepresented students and supports the College’s vision for diversity. Trustee Andrea “Andy” Leebron-Clay experienced firsthand the extraordinary resolve of our students to find solutions to world problems. She accompanied a group of Mudd Engineers for a Sustainable World on a 16-day educational mission to Africa where they helped people in a remote village install a solar-powered water pump. The experience, she said, gave her optimism that smart and committed people can change the future. This fiscal year marked the passing of Ken Jonsson, a longtime trustee, whose service to the College exemplifies the quality and integrity of our distinguished board. For 40 years, Ken and his wife, Diana, contributed significantly to the College’s endowment and scholarship programs. Your gifts make it possible for our students to make the world a better place. We present this Annual Report and Honor Roll of Donors to share with you the important work of the College you support and to thank you for your continuing generosity.

Fundraising Report
During fiscal year 2009–2010, in the midst of one of the most serious economic downturns in this nation’s history, Harvey Mudd College saw firsthand the loyalty of our trustees, alumni, parents and friends. This community’s talent, energy and commitment to the College’s mission belies our relatively small numbers. Overall, 2009–2010 was a successful year, with just over $18 million in gifts and pledges received from all sources. While this is quite a bit lower than last year’s record fundraising total—when HMC received a $25 million pledge from Mike and Mary Shanahan—we saw encouraging signs of growth in many areas:
• 1,851 alumni contributed nearly $684,000 through the
Annual Mudd Fundd. Over the past two years, gifts to the
Annual Mudd Fundd have increased 37 percent. • 36 percent of contactable alumni contributed, up from 33 percent in 2008. The class of 1965 had the highest participation rate: 63 percent. • The number of parent donors increased by 20 percent. • Despite the economy and corporate belt-tightening, the
Office of Corporate Relations secured an outstanding roster of
Clinic Program sponsors, and foundations contributed nearly $1 million. • Giving in support of campus diversity increased, with $450,000 going to the President’s Scholars Program. • HMC welcomed 23 new friends into the Legacy Society, which recognizes donors who have made a commitment to support the College through bequests and deferred gifts.
Estate distributions from Legacy Society benefactors provided roughly $435,000 for scholarships and programs.

Advancement Review (continued)
2009–2010
This forward momentum is the result of Advancement’s renewed focus on the following areas:
Advancing Engagement
The implementation of best practices in philanthropy to better serve trustees, alumni, parents and donors was an important focus for Advancement in 2009. For the first time, the Advancement team includes two professional staff whose sole charge is enhancing donor stewardship activities and events. Another first for Advancement is the new, three-person Office of Reunion Programming. In partnership with the Office of Alumni and Parent Relations, the reunion team seeks to reengage alumni in the life of the College by capitalizing on the energy and enthusiasm surrounding milestone reunion years. These teams’ collaborative efforts culminated in the largest campus event of the year, which was also the largest alumni event in the history of HMC—Alumni Weekend 2009. Alumni Weekend welcomed 569 graduates and their families back to campus for a three-day weekend program of special activities, ranging from networking events, to campus tours, to faculty-led seminars.
Across the country, more than 6,600 alumni, parents and friends gathered for one or more of 71 events, a 26.5 percent event attendance increase over last year. Attendance by parents and family members at key annual events, such as Family Weekend, also increased. Perhaps not surprisingly, giving by parents and families also increased—by 7 percent.
Celebrating Alumni Impact
Mudders are rocket scientists, Academy Award winners, entrepreneurs, ambassadors, mathematicians, engineers, philanthropists, doctors, lawyers, non-profit leaders and just generally extraordinary people—Mudders do it all. Harvey Mudd College has made a difference in the lives of our alumni and in return, our alumni are making an impact on the world. Thanks to the HMC Impact Project, we know more about the successes, contributions and aspirations of our alumni than ever before.
Since the Impact Project launched in fall 2009, more than 26 percent of alumni have responded to the first alumni survey in five years (the last survey’s response rate was just 6 percent). Alumni have told us about their lives since HMC, providing valuable information that will enable us to better understand the important role Mudders play in their communities, and to tell a more compelling story about this small College’s large impact on the world. These respondents show us that HMC alumni are:

Advancing Communications
The trustees, president, faculty and staff are collaborating to increase HMC’s national and global visibility. Leading this effort is the communications team, led by Advancement’s newest Senior Director Judy Augsburger. In just six months, Judy and her staff, which now includes a director of digital marketing and communications, have overseen the successful launch of a new, dynamic social media program and the implementation of strategic upgrades to the College’s web presence. Improving the look and functionality of the website will continue to be a priority in the coming year. Danyel Barnard Reed, director of advancement initiatives, together with Judy, launched the Presidential White Papers, which explain HMC’s impact and vision for the future of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education. The first White Paper has received accolades at the national level.
Celebrating Trustee Generosity
HMC benefits immeasurably from the wise counsel born of the trustees’ vast experience in all areas of business and industry. HMC is extremely fortunate for their generous financial support, which continues at a record level. The past fiscal year alone, the College benefited from the visionary leadership support of Trustee Michael Shanahan and Mary Shanahan, who gave nearly $600,000 in support of HMC’s most pressing needs. Joining Mike and Mary with an annual gift of their own was Trustee John Benediktsson ’01 and his wife, Rajashree Karwa, who contributed just over $100,000. We are also grateful to Trustee Bruce Worster ’64 and his wife, Susan Worster, who contributed nearly $180,000, a portion of which funds the Iris and Howard Critchell Aeronautical Annual Scholarship. We could go on and on. We are grateful for the generosity of all HMC trustees.
Planning for the Future
HMC reached significant milestones in the planning for the new teaching and learning building this year. Perhaps the most tangible embodiment of the HMC Strategic Vision, this new building is designed to meet HMC’s academic needs for the next 75 years. To be constructed on the site of the cramped and outmoded Thomas-Garrett Building, the new building will provide nearly 70,000 square feet of flexible teaching and learning spaces, including optimal settings for public conferences, large-scale workshops, art exhibitions and musical/theatrical performances. With classrooms ranging from a 300-person auditorium to more intimate 12-person seminar rooms, HMC will see a 50 percent increase in on-campus teaching spaces (from 22 to 33) when the new building opens.
While the campus community is eager to break ground and get started with construction, much of fiscal year 2009–2010 necessarily was spent engaged in design and construction planning. As the design development phase nears completion, the College will begin to seek leadership support for the new building. These early fundraising efforts will be guided by the recently completed campaign planning assessment, facilitated by Marts & Lundy and benefiting greatly from the input of trustees and so many alumni, parents and other friends of the College. HMC continues to be grateful to trustee Wayne Drinkward ’73, whose visionary support has facilitated design and construction planning efforts.
We are grateful to and inspired by every one of the College’s supporters. You exemplify the understanding that a gift to Harvey Mudd College is an investment in the future—of science, of scientists, of ideas, of innovation, of world-changing discoveries. Those things happen here, and they are made possible by you. Thank you.
Financial Review
2009–2010
Harvey Mudd College (the “College”) has experienced a positive fiscal year primarily due to a gain in its pooled investment funds and higher than budgeted enrollment. Following are highlights of the year just ended.
Financial Position
Harvey Mudd College ended the fiscal year with assets in excess of $326 million. This total is composed primarily of investments of $235 million and land, buildings and equipment of $60 million. Liabilities of $19 million consist primarily of long-term bonds payable and payables to annuitants and trust beneficiaries. During the 2009–10 fiscal year, total net assets increased by $13 million. This increase in net assets was caused by an increase in the value of the investment pool resulting from both realized and unrealized gains in the value of investments and improved returns on pooled investments. As of June 30, 2010, net assets totaled $307 million, composed of three net asset categories: unrestricted (those over which the College has full discretion) of $101 million; temporarily restricted (those given to the College for a specific purpose) of $106 million; and permanently restricted (those given to the College to be held in perpetuity) of $100 million.
Financial Operations
Total revenues were $51 million for fiscal year 2009–10 compared to $82 million for fiscal year 2008–09. This decrease is due in large part to a significant contribution received in the prior year, a $25 million gift/pledge from a major donor. Total expenses for fiscal year 2009–10 were approximately $48 million.
For the year ending June 30, 2010, the College experienced an operating surplus of approximately $187,000, after a number of transfers to high priority areas as approved by the Trustee Budget and Financial Planning Committee: $800,000 of additional support for the renewal and replacement fund, $65,000 to support the activities of the Advancement Department to prepare for a capital campaign, $250,000 of additional support for the faculty housing program, $365,000 of additional support for design development costs not covered by contributions, and $215,000 of additional support for academic department needs and start-up funds for new faculty. The key factors influencing the positive balance were higher than budgeted enrollment, salary savings from unfilled positions, and departments diligently conserving operating budgets wherever possible.
Endowment Investments
In an atmosphere in which equity markets registered severe declines and most endowments suffered significant negative returns, the College’s endowment produced a total return of 11.8 percent for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010. This total return compares with the Standard & Poor 500 index return of 14.2 percent and the Barclays Aggregate Bond index return of 9.2 percent. Market value of the endowment was $208 million at year end, representing an equivalent of $277,000 per student.
Endowment payout provided 24 percent of the College’s operating revenues during the fiscal year. The College employs a formula that governs the annual payout of endowment earnings to support operations. Endowment payout will decline in the next several years and will impact the endowment’s ability to provide funding for operations. The formula is designed to balance the need for endowment resources to support current activities with the equally important goal of preserving the value of endowment funds for future generations of students and faculty.
As we enter the next fiscal year, the endowment has partially rebounded as general market conditions have improved. There may still be significant financial and economic challenges to come, and the College continues to monitor any developments. The endowment is positioned well both to manage further economic uncertainty and to participate in market improvements.
Summary
Harvey Mudd College has been able to weather the economic storm through conservative and fiscally responsible budgets. The College’s administration and trustees have and will continue to prepare for various potential scenarios that may occur as a result of economic uncertainty. With the leadership of President Maria Klawe and the continued focus of the Board of Trustees on the HMC 2020 Strategic Vision, Harvey Mudd College is well positioned and will be able to continue its mission of recruiting and educating the best and brightest college students in the fields of engineering, science and mathematics.

THE FOUNDERS
he Founders is a newly formed donor recognition society which honors the visionary leadership of the College’s founders. When HMC was established in 1955, many of T the founders committed support for the long term. They knew that if the College was to succeed, a sustained annual giving program was required, and key to that program were donors who could make significant annual contributions. It was their hope that others would join them in making HMC an annual philanthropic priority.
In order to honor those who made these initial commitments, three distinct levels were created to recognize alumni, parents and friends for their high level of personal commitment to the College. Generous annual gifts impact the quality of the HMC educational experience in many ways and help perpetuate the Founders’ inspiring legacy of annual giving.
Matching gifts from employers, corporations and foundations are included when determining recognition, raising the level of an individual’s society membership.
Exclusive giving levels allow young alumni (those who have graduated within the last 10 years) to enjoy membership in The Founders society as well.
