������ƵCollege alum Earl Wren ’24 is the recipient of the AHEAD Student Recognition Award for their work amplifying student-led networks of accessibility and disability support and providing critical feedback to the Disability Services office.

������ƵCollege’s class of 2028 has arrived on campus — here’s what the numbers say about these blue lions.

By 8 am, a line of students and families stretched around the green in front of Mary Woolley Hall, signaling the beginning of the 2024-2025 academic year at ������ƵCollege.

Six ������ƵCollege faculty members have been selected as recipients of the Marion and Jasper Whiting Foundation Fellowship. The awards will fund travel to further advance their studies, leading to increased opportunities for students.

“Here at Mount Holyoke, my professors taught me that there’s a way to combine different academic disciplines to tackle complex, difficult problems. They offered me so much mentorship, inclusivity and communication.”

“I talk with friends who are not ������Ƶstudents, and they have limited research experience. But here, I’ve done research with two advisors in two different departments.”

“������Ƶtaught me that there isn’t one right way to be a student or live your life. My classmates weren’t my competition. They were my support system. This allowed me to reflect on what I want.”

“Whether you're leading a project, whether you're running an experiment, whether you're working with a team, patience is very important. There are so many ways where the solution to the problem is just … seeing what the next move you can take is.”

“I definitely feel like I’ve really built such a great community here. Besides my lab and my team, I have made so many friends from different classes and different events. I feel like my community is so large here.”

“My friends and my advisor helped me navigate one of the hardest periods, not just my education but of my life.”
