Staying Connected

"As alumni, there are many ways we can participate. One way is to just be active, involved, and knowledgeable about what's going on at CMC. I think it's important for alumni to try to stay in touch with students. If you've got children who are in school here, then you're much closer. But if you've got a nephew or his friend, son, or daughter who happens to be in school here, seek them out and ask them about their impressions of the place and compare your experiences. You may be surprised to find more similarities than differences. The low student-teacher ratio, the intimacy, the small classes, the kind of sports activities, the on-campus events, these are all similar to the way they were when we were students. I think most alumni get a good feeling about that. The place hasn't changed in any radical way."

The Consortium

"Being a member of the Claremont consortium is an important asset and a unique strength, as well as an occasional challenge. Overall, it's tremendously beneficial to be part of the consortium, and CMC will continue to play an active leadership role within The Claremont Colleges."

Our Greatest Asset

"Our students are our product and our greatest asset. They are the reason we're all here. We want to continue to attract the traditional kinds of CMC students-actively engaged, outgoing, curious about learning, but also possessing a dimension to their lives that's beyond academics. In short, we want leaders."
