"Everyone assured me, 'your undergrad major doesn’t matter' but I am absolutely sure I chose the right major in Middle Eastern Studies."
"As a docent in a historical art museum I was interested in the actual built structure of the house and its restoration over the years."
I learned a ton from the campers, the Cary scientists, my supervisor, and the mosquitoes I collected for the researchers!
My academic/work experience made me a better stage manager and I thank MHC for shaping me into a more confident, worldly individual.
How lucky I was to be able to go out into the real world as an undergraduate and try on many possible career "hats".
At Mount Holyoke I found access to professors and mentors who helped me navigate the intersections in my identity within the unfamiliar realm of higher education.
“I can’t believe how lucky I am — to be able to learn from and work closely with a scientist I’ve been admiring for so long!”
Writing an art history thesis prepared me to undertake long-term and complex research projects and graduate school.
To immerse myself in another language, culture, and in literature that was socially and politically significant was truly powerful.
“This year I have taken some actions to make Mount Holyoke a more inclusive and equitable campus and I am very proud of the work that I have accomplished.”
