MHC Offers Spots to Displaced Students

Mount Holyoke will offer visiting-student status to academically qualified undergraduates whose college or university enrollment has been negatively affected by Hurricane Katrina, according to Jane B. Brown, vice president for enrollment and college relations. At the same time, the College is exploring the possibility of offering a limited number of displaced students residential status, despite being at near-full capacity on campus.

In addition, the College, with significant numbers of alumnae and students in affected areas, is posting updates about its efforts to ascertain the safety of alumnae, students, and students' families, as well as to assist with relief efforts at www.mtholyoke.edu/offices/comm/
news/katrina.shtml.

Anyone with information about possible housing for displaced students
or Mount Holyoke families displaced by the storm, or about the status of students in affected areas, is urged to contact Nancy Larson, assistant to the dean of the College, at 413-538-2481 or nlarson@mtholyoke.edu.

For more information about enrollment at Mount Holyoke, please contact the registrar, Monica Augustin, at 413-538-2025.
