At its core, the mission and purpose of ASCMC is to promote a more

“CMC’s mission … is to support faculty and student scholarship that contribute to intellectual vitality and the understanding of public policy issues.” Claremont McKenna College’s public policy major has been a long time coming.

The plan for an independent science department at CMC is “moving full-steam ahead,” with the administration expected to reach financial targets within the next few months, according to Peter Uvin, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of Faculty. Students in the Class of ’23 or ’24 could potentially be the first ones to take classes with newly hired CMC science faculty. CMC “will gradually increase the total number of science faculty available for all students at the t

"For sale: baby shoes, never worn." Ernest Hemingway told his readers an entire story in six short words, and decades later we are asking the class of 2019 to do describe their CMC experience the very same way. They came up with fun, unique quotes that define themselves and their lives so far. Here they are!

For CMC to continue its mission of leadership and guidance in the face of climate change, it should shift the date of its carbon neutrality target from 2050 to 2030, a target that is common among similar institutions of higher education.
