to be presented annually to a minority member of the student
body "who best exemplifies the ideals to which her own
life has been dedicated—the capacity to create a dream
and the passion to pursue it; the ability to soar with that goal
whether it be academic excellence, social justice, or service
to others."
The Mount Holyoke College Community Service Award
Kristen A. Ripley '04 and Asha C. Strazzero-Wild '04

Service Award. Made possible by the College Bookstore, this award
