The Class of 2008
Brings Skills and Talent to Campus
Caitlin Orr |
Five hundred and
seventy-two new students arrived on the Mount Holyoke campus
this month, adding their energies, talents, and perspectives
to a student body already noted for its academic accomplishment,
diversity, and global awareness. Chosen from the second-largest
pool of applicants in the College’s 167-year history,
the class of 2008 continues the College’s commitment
to diversity and its long tradition of international engagement.
Ninety-nine of the new students (17 percent) are African American,
Latina American, Asian American, and Native American (ALANA)
students; 78 (14 percent) are international students. The new
class represents 35 states and 32 nations. In addition, there
are 39 Frances Perkins Scholars, or women of nontraditional
age; 32 transferred to Mount Holyoke from other colleges. more>
