I have stretched myself creatively in ways I previously never thought possible. I can’t wait to see what the rest of my Mount Holyoke career has in store for me.

Mount Holyoke College students were honored at the annual Leadership and Service Awards ceremony for their contributions to the community.

Employees of Mount Holyoke College celebrated each other during the annual staff award event.

“I’ve met amazing people that I still look to for friendship, and I’ve also met younger underclassmen whom I feel would definitely do an amazing job of taking over and continuing the legacy.”

“It was both the school’s physical environment and beautiful campus and the community environment [that attracted me to Mount Holyoke].”

“I was a shy, sort of unaware person from a very conservative town. I was sort of the odd one out there, and then I came here and fell into my people and the things that I want to be doing.”

“Now that I have the confidence to speak up, I have to speak up for people who can’t speak for themselves.”

“Always attend office hours. That’s my biggest advice. That’s how you slowly start to build your relationships.”

“Mount Holyoke has given me more purpose. Now I am driven to improve community and to open opportunities for others.”

“Something about Mount Holyoke seemed welcoming. I liked the beauty of the campus, the energy, the life. It seemed more collaborative than other places. I knew immediately it was the place for me.”
