Faculty Accomplishments

Mount Holyoke professors have won Pulitzer and Guggenheim awards, NASA grants, and Carnegie Fellowships.

They receive millions in funding from the National Science Foundation, leading to unique research opportunities for students. Each year they publish approximately 30 books, write more than 150 articles and scientific papers, many with undergraduate coauthors, and receive many major grants, the majority for work with students. Ninety-six percent have a doctorate or other terminal degree.

They’re intense, passionate, innovative, determined, and demanding. Explore their accomplishments here, read recent faculty news articles or search the faculty directory.
