About The Campaign For Claremont McKenna
Campaign Initiatives
To generate leaders, CMC fosters intellectual, ethical, and psychological growth. To enable its future, CMC anticipates institutional growth, growth that preserves the intimacy of the CMC experience as it fortifies the College’s academic standing and extends its reach.
Well-planned growth will sustain CMC’s rigorous, challenging, collaborative student-faculty experience and continue its cohesive residential nature, to deepen and widen our impact. It also will increase CMC’s ability to reach more of those who can benefit from what CMC can provide.
Potential students seek to enter CMC in ever-greater numbers, and we must therefore accept a smaller and smaller percentage of our highly qualified applicants—16 percent of applicants who sought to enter in 2007. Enlarging the residential student body from 1,000 to 1,200 will help us fulfill our obligation to teach and shape tomorrow’s leaders.
The corresponding growth in faculty needed to maintain our 9:1 student-teacher ratio means not just increasing numbers but strengthening our intellectual capital and boosting CMC’s competitive position among our sister colleges. Developing a broader alumni base creates more networks and opportunities for alumni, current students (tomorrow’s alumni), and the College worldwide.
CMC must therefore increase its investment in faculty and students, as well as in the facilities that enable them to perform at their best. The Campaign embraces five initiatives designed to ensure gradual incremental growth.
