CW: Student death
A Harvey Mudd College student died off campus this week, according to an email sent by HMC President Harriet B. Nembhard on Nov. 5. The student identified in the email, Olivia Guerrero HM ’25, was described as a “valued and important member of our community.”
Guerrero was a computer science major from Pico Rivera, California. In the email, the cause of death was not disclosed.
“We will all miss her tremendously,” Nembhard wrote.
Nembhard informed the community that she will reach out with additional information as more is learned from Guerrero’s family regarding memorial information.
“I ask that you join me in holding Olivia’s family, friends and loved ones in your hearts and in your thoughts,” Nembhard wrote.
This marks the second student death at HMC this semester. To support students during this time, Nembhard included resources available across the Claremont Colleges.
For students across the Claremont Colleges, Nembhard noted, Monsour Counseling and Psychological Services is located in the Tranquada Student Services Center and is providing grief counselors for individual support in the Division of Student Affairs Office, while an on-call therapist is reachable 24/7 for after-hours support at 909-621-8202. Other resources are available through the Chaplain’s Office, along with staff and faculty on campus.
