Mountain Day Reunions
Mountain Day Reunions were started in 2011 by a few very homesick golden sphinxes led by Meredith Nelson ’11. The way it works is simple: When the bells toll on Mountain Day the reunions begin!

Events will be listed as they are received and will be held at all locations listed below at 6:37 pm (18:37) local time unless otherwise indicated by the host. Be sure to connect with the host, let them know you're joining and share the event with friends.
One of Mount Holyoke College’s oldest traditions, Mountain Day, has already brought hundreds of Mount Holyoke community members to the summit of Mt. Holyoke, celebrating with ice cream, temporary tattoos and singing of the alma mater.
