Celebrating the Mountain on the Summit and in the Galleries

Photo: Jim Gipe Harriet L. Weissman '58 chats with Pulitzer Prize-winning author Tracy Kidder, who discussed contemporary views of Mount Holyoke (the mountain) before a standing-room-only crowd at the art museum last Friday. Weissman and her husband, Paul, initiated a fundraising challenge that enabled the art museum's new addition to expand from an original design of 1,800 square feet to 2,800 square feet.

There they enjoyed a beautiful view and ice cream and conversation with President Joanne V. Creighton and a number of faculty and staff members.
