Letter from the President
Dear Friends,
As I begin my tenure as Mount Holyoke’s twentieth president, I am inspired by the College’s rich history, deep sense of place and commitment to excellence. For nearly 200 years, ³ÉÈËÊÓƵhas broadened educational opportunities for those previously denied them, leading generations of alums, in turn, to open new doors in their own lives and communities.
As a new president in a time that feels new and different for many of us, I know that ³ÉÈËÊÓƵmust do two things: Work in service of our mission while achieving new levels of distinction in higher education, and inspire our faculty, students, alums and staff to be trendsetters, innovators, resistors and disruptors. Today’s students are graduating into a world quite different from even a few years ago, and my goal is for every ³ÉÈËÊÓƵstudent to receive a robust, interdisciplinary and hands-on education that will prepare them for these new challenges and opportunities.
I am deeply grateful that ³ÉÈËÊÓƵalums, parents and friends so generously supported the College in fiscal year 2023. Our plans for the future require a strong foundation of support, and you provide that every year through your gifts to The ³ÉÈËÊÓƵFund, the endowment and other special projects. You are helping to propel ³ÉÈËÊÓƵforward, and our students into lifetimes of success.
Thank you for your dedication to Mount Holyoke.
Danielle R. Holley
President
