In the Field

Our students engage as teachers and learners. Whether collaborating with teachers, presenting at conferences or being recognized for their outstanding work in the field, the M.A.T. students at Mount Holyoke are engaged in the wider community - teaching and learning in meaningful and exciting ways.
