When Ansley Keane graduates from ������Ƶin May of 2023, she will be ready to teach history to children — including the child of the director of undergraduate early childhood and elementary licensure programs at the College.

Two ������Ƶalums and members of its Board of Trustees met with Interim President Beverly Daniel Tatum to discuss finance careers, changing plans and leaps of faith at the latest Launching Leadership conversation on April 11.

“Through the classes I’ve taken, I have a much better sense of what I’m interested in and what I want to do with the future. The professors ... are really there to make sure that you understand all of this material.”

“International relations is a subset of political science. I’ve had professors introduce me to things I didn’t even know existed. I was able to learn about all different aspects of politics, and that was incredibly helpful.”

“It doesn’t matter where you come from and all the obstacles that come your way. You can do it. With the right people and keeping yourself focused, you can achieve anything.”

“I want to use what I’ve experienced [at Mount Holyoke] to make lives better, especially in those small-scale, interpersonal ways.”

“Something about ������Ƶseemed welcoming. I liked the beauty of the campus, the energy, the life. It seemed more collaborative than other places. I knew immediately it was the place for me.”

������ƵCollege’s undergraduate Teacher Licensure program was given “approved with distinction” status by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, only one of four teaching licensure programs in the state to have received this status.

“At ������ƵI found my people and my place — marked by an endless spirit of curiosity. I found the people I felt like I’d been searching for my whole life: passionate, driven, interesting and interested — in me, my story and the things I care about.”

At the most recent Launching Leadership event at ������ƵCollege, Aimée Eubanks Davis ’95 discussed following her passion, being authentically bold and finding your own superpower.
