Project Decode at Harvey Mudd College

Thanks to everybody for coming! We had an awesome time facilitating and participating in the event!

Here's a sneak peek of a page of the health care cheatsheet we'll be handing out tomorrow for our health care workshop! (6:00-7:30PM Wednesday at Galileo Pryne Lecture Hall at Mudd) If you would like to have free dinner for the event, please RSVP in this form by 5:00PM today: https://goo.gl/forms/FCDv8EczD4s1Yhaw1

For the event, if you are concerned about taking the spot of someone else who needs it more, the lecture hall can house more than 100 attendees, so we are confident that we can accommodate every attendee.

Thank you so much to everyone who came to our photo booth this past Thursday to and ! It was amazing to see the Mudd community come together and celebrate the success of first-generation and/or low-income students – those who are often in face of emotional, financial, social, and academic barriers to thriving at a very challenging institution.

To Decoders at Mudd, you all are amazing! Even though it might not seem like it all the time, you are where you're supposed to be, and the world is in awe of your resilience and persistence. Mudd isn't easy, but you're still pushing, you're still trailblazing, and you're still striving to be the best you can be. So please continue to celebrate yourself every single day! We look forward to continuing to support you and celebrate with you!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by and signed up today at Club Expo! We’re on to something: now a student organization, we have the mobility and resources to create the community we aspire to be. One where we can voice concerns unique to being first generation and/or low-income and support each other through the ups and downs of this institution.

We’re overjoyed by the wonderful ideas we’ve heard and the many students who have expressed interest to join leadership and make Decode the best it can be. Keep on the lookout for the first meeting which will be published via this page and our email list.

If you know any Mudder who would be interested in Decode, we would love that you direct them to our page and this signup form: https://goo.gl/forms/yqFOrM2n8SO7xi2t1
