Like many Mount Holyoke College graduates, including her mother (1968), Margaret Clarkson used her MHC experience to adapt to various opportunities. This experience allowed her to develop her career in roles ranging from internal support at Fidelity Investments, information management and curriculum development at Computer Associates to teaching music to young children and their families with Music Together.
Stepping away from employment to raise her children, Margaret continued to explore her interests by singing, crafting, writing, and volunteering in her children’s schools. She also volunteered with Mount Holyoke College Admissions, served on the Class of 1994 board, and as a trustee on the board of the North Shore Montessori School in Stony Brook, NY.
With her older child a 2024 MHC graduate and her younger studying in the Valley, Margaret now resides on Long Island, New York with her husband, 3 cats and 1 snake. She periodically hosts students from MHC in addition to fostering dogs.
