Family and Friends Weekend
October 23-25, 2009

Every fall, Mount Holyoke’s Family and Friends Weekend offers a wide variety of events providing insight into the intellectual, social, and spiritual opportunities that abound on our beautiful campus. The weekend features two-and-a-half days designed to connect you with the College’s programs, administrators, faculty, and students. We hope you’ll join our dynamic and diverse community for this beloved Mount Holyoke tradition.

Programming begins on Friday afternoon (2pm) with several "Open House" sessions around campus, and the MHC Jazz Ensemble's concert that evening. All families are encouraged to join us when they can.

This website offers an overview of what to expect during Family and Friends Weekend. Choose one or two events, or choose them all—it’s up to you. Keep in mind that the schedule is subject to change, so check back!

Please be aware that families and friends do not need to register to attend the weekend—just show up, and have a good time with your student. If you did not pre-register for meals, you can still purchase your meals at the dining halls.

If you have general questions, or require services because of a disability or special need, please call 413-538-2478 by Friday, September 18 to make arrangements.


Join us for a fun, relaxing fall weekend on Mount Holyoke’s beautiful campus.
