According to Associate Dean of Students John Markos, CMC plans to offer free weekly laundry service to all students starting next fall, and will make an announcement via press release and e-mail on Wednesday, April 2nd. The program is intended to reduce the school’s emissions (part of the 5C commitment to go “green”) and allow students to spend more time studying and less time worrying about chores like laundry.

Michael Wilner broke the story at the CI:

“At its annual retreat this week in Newport Beach, Claremont McKenna College’s Board of Trustees opted to replace student loans with scholarship grants, joining a small group of elite colleges who can afford to do so. Current students returning to CMC in the Fall will have grants in place of loans, and all packages will henceforth be strictly scholarship and grant money.”

Basically, current loans must still be paid off, but in the future, all aid packages will include no loans, just grants.

I am used to being in the minority. In high school, my social circle consisted mostly of male friends. Of my closest girlfriends, I was the only one to select a private college to attend upon graduation. At college, I decided to major in History with a Gender & Women’s Studies sequence, sealing my minority status. And now, I am in the minority of students at Claremont McKenna shunning the “Obamania” around me and declaring my support for Senator Hillary Clinton in the upcoming presidential election.
