            <itunes:summary>Commencement 2009 speaker Princess Loulwa al-Faisal al Saud, daughter of Queen Effat and the late King Faisal, has championed women's education and worked on behalf of social and family welfare in the Middle East. During the 1990s, she worked with her mother supervising Dar Al-Hanan School, the first private high school for girls in Saudi Arabia. In 1999, she founded Effat College, now Effat University, the first college exclusively for women in Saudi Arabia. The Princess currently serves as vice-chairman of the Board of Trustees and general supervisor. She led all phases of the school's founding, raising funds, developing curriculum, and overseeing the construction and hiring of faculty and staff. She has served as a firm, but diplomatic, visionary in all phases of Effat's development. Notably, Mount Holyoke faculty members and administrators played a consultative role in Effat's development, and ties continue between the two schools today through their participation in Women's Education Worldwide, a global consortium of women's colleges.</itunes:summary>

            <itunes:subtitle>MHC Talk: Internet for Everyone</itunes:subtitle>
            <itunes:summary>In 1988, the Internet was an academic curiosity, used by less than a million students and professors. Twenty years later, it's the backbone of communication, commerce, and technological innovation around the world. It's easy to forget that most of the world still is not connected to the Internet and that the Internet continues to change and evolve as people from different countries, languages, and cultures connect to the network.

How and when will the Internet reach the five billion people not currently connected? How will the inputs of these new users change and reshape the Internet? Who's responsible for bringing the Internet to a wider world--governments? NGOs? private companies?--and should this be a priority for international development? An upcoming discussion at the College tackled the cultural, political, technical, and economic future of the Internet.

Ethan Zuckerman, founder of Global Voices and Geekcorps, and Andrew McLaughlin, the head of Google's global policy efforts, discussed &quot;Internet for the Other Five Billion--How and Why?&quot; at 7:30 pm on Tuesday, December 2, in Hooker Auditorium at Mount Holyoke College. </itunes:summary>

With candor, warmth, and enthusiasm, she shared her thoughts in classes, gatherings with faculty and students, and a public lecture. In the course History of Global Inequality, taught by Holly Hanson, associate professor of history and chair of African American and African studies, Ramdas talked with students about poverty, inequality, and global development. Among other things, she advocated spending for social activism rather than economic development as a means to alleviate inequality.

            <itunes:summary>For geographer Carolyn Finney &quot;environmental justice&quot; is too narrow a construct for understanding the deepest issues about race and the environment. For Finney, it's the &quot;racialization of space&quot; that's important because it narrows black identity, discourages African American engagement with the natural world, and excludes poor urban gardeners from the band of &quot;environmentalists.&quot; Finney visited the MHC campus Tuesday, September 9, to deliver a lecture titled &quot;What's Race Got to Do with It?: Climate Change, Privilege, and Consciousness.&quot; Her talk, presented by the Mount Holyoke College Center for the Environment.

            <itunes:summary>It took decades for Jane Hammond to call herself an artist. For years, she was hesitant to embrace the title. Today, Hammond plays with the definition of art itself. Her pieces often test a viewer's perception about reality and truth. A new exhibit of Hammond's work  traveling the country is called Paper Work. It features objects both large and small, painted and drawn, flat and three-dimensional. When the exhibit was visiting Mount Holyoke College Art Museum, Hammond took producer Tina Antolini on a tour of the collection.</itunes:summary>

            <itunes:summary>The panel presentation and discussion entitled &quot;Middle East as Global Challenge&quot; celebrated the dedication of the Dorothy R. and Norman E. McCulloch Center for Global Initiatives on October 28, 2006. The event was part of the launch of the $300 million Campaign for Mount Holyoke. The center--which was established in 2004--unites Mount Holyoke's international programs and advances students' understanding of global problems and solutions from cross-disciplinary, cross-cultural, and cross-national perspectives.

The panel was moderated by Eva Paus, the Carol Hoffmann Collins Director of the McCulloch Center, and featured experts Anthony Lake, Distinguished Professor in the Practice of Diplomacy at the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University; Eynat Shlein-Michael, counselor for Middle Eastern affairs at the Embassy of Israel, Washington, DC: and, Rami Khouri, editor-at-large of the Beirut Daily Star and director of the Issam Fares Institute for Public Policy and International Affairs, American University of Beirut. Lake, who was Five College Professor of International Relations at Amherst and Mount Holyoke colleges from 1981 to 1992, served as national security adviser in the Clinton administration. In 2004, Khouri was the first Global Scholar-in-Residence at the McCulloch Center for Global Initiatives.

Rather than focusing on Iraq or the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the event sought to look at the Middle East more broadly. Each panelist discussed regional trends and perspectives, as well as what they regard as major security threats and their suggestions for real solutions. </itunes:summary>

            <itunes:subtitle>Middle East as Global Challenge Part 3</itunes:subtitle>
            <itunes:summary>The panel presentation and discussion entitled &quot;Middle East as Global Challenge&quot; celebrated the dedication of the Dorothy R. and Norman E. McCulloch Center for Global Initiatives on October 28, 2006. The event was part of the launch of the $300 million Campaign for Mount Holyoke. The center--which was established in 2004--unites Mount Holyoke's international programs and advances students' understanding of global problems and solutions from cross-disciplinary, cross-cultural, and cross-national perspectives.

The panel was moderated by Eva Paus, the Carol Hoffmann Collins Director of the McCulloch Center, and featured experts Anthony Lake, Distinguished Professor in the Practice of Diplomacy at the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University; Eynat Shlein-Michael, counselor for Middle Eastern affairs at the Embassy of Israel, Washington, DC: and, Rami Khouri, editor-at-large of the Beirut Daily Star and director of the Issam Fares Institute for Public Policy and International Affairs, American University of Beirut. Lake, who was Five College Professor of International Relations at Amherst and Mount Holyoke colleges from 1981 to 1992, served as national security adviser in the Clinton administration. In 2004, Khouri was the first Global Scholar-in-Residence at the McCulloch Center for Global Initiatives.

Rather than focusing on Iraq or the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the event sought to look at the Middle East more broadly. Each panelist discussed regional trends and perspectives, as well as what they regard as major security threats and their suggestions for real solutions. </itunes:summary>
