Happening at Mount Holyoke
Nearly 150 students participated in the Stoling Ceremony, an important Commencement weekend tradition celebrating the achievements of students of color and their Mount Holyoke mentors.
During Baccalaureate, Mount Holyoke seniors gather together in Abbey Memorial Chapel on the Saturday evening before Commencement. They hear remarks from selected faculty members, classmates and College leadership.
Three Mount Holyoke professors spoke at Final Lecture, giving talks that ranged from aspirational to deeply personal.
