学生们在2019年毕业典礼上欢呼

We Are Mount Holyoke

Meet our community. See yourself here.

As one student says, “感觉就像世界上的一个样本人口, like little pieces of cities around the globe have migrated onto campus.”

Our community is also surprisingly like-minded — in the best of ways. 我们是好奇的、包容的和鼓励的. Reflective. Expressive. Approachable. We make change.

Meet some of us who call the Mount Holyoke community home. MoHome.
