For 75 years, Claremont McKenna College has held a unique place in academia, distinguished by our commitment to prepare students for thoughtful and productive lives and responsible leadership in business, government, and the professions.

The resources and financial strength provided by so many philanthropists and investors over the College’s first 75 years have created an unparalleled ability to weather the storms of the present moment. As a community, we are proud of our previous accomplishments, but we know that our work is not complete.

On the cusp of our 75th anniversary, we embark on The Campaign for CMC: Responsible Leadership a community-wide effort that will provide for a bright future rooted in the best aspects of our past, producing future leaders whose performance and pragmatism are authentically CMC.

Your financial investment in CMC, made in the spirit of our founders and with hope for the future, demonstrates your belief in the power of the CMC education.  Through support of the alumni fund and parents fund, you express your commitment to providing a truly exceptional liberal arts education for current and future generations.  By leading forward as a member of the Res Publica Society, you join an exceptional group of philanthropists who directly care for CMC through leadership annual giving.  By considering a planned gift to CMC, you show that the first 75 years of CMC have been just a start toward generations of excellence to come.
