lipstick, blue cowboy hats, blue leis, and even a dash of blue
in the otherwise leaden skies brightened the festivities as the
Mount Holyoke community gathered in Gettell Amphitheater on Wednesday,
September 3, to celebrate convocation, the formal beginning of
the College’s 167th academic year. Adorned with blue wigs,
blue umbrellas, and all manner of things blue, their class color,
the class of 2004 processed in to the cheers of faculty, staff,
and fellow students. After the ceremonies came time for another
celebration, as President Joanne V. Creighton cut a ribbon to
mark the dedication of the reopened Blanchard Campus Center.
Creighton welcomed new and returning members of the community,
offering particular congratulations and best wishes to the class
of 2004. Focusing her remarks on the legacies of the College’s
founder, Mary Lyon, she noted that convocation is also a time
for paying attention to “the sustaining presence and permanence
of Mount Holyoke College itself.”. more>
