Mount Holyoke Community to Celebrate Student Achievement and Reopening of Carr Laboratory February 10

The Celebration of Student Achievement, set for Monday, February 10, in Pratt Hall's McCulloch Auditorium, will offer not only the opportunity to recognize leadership by students and recent graduates (as demonstrated through academic excellence, community service, and outstanding accomplishment), but also the chance to see the stunning renovation of Carr Laboratory, which recently reopened for classes, labs, and research. Following a ceremony at Pratt that begins at 4 pm, attendees will make their way to Kendade Hall's Marion Craig Potter '49 Atrium, where a reception will be held at 5 pm. During the reception, tours of Carr, home of the College's chemistry department and part of the new science center, will be offered. All events are open to the entire College community.
