Visit the campus updates page for information on Mount Holyoke's response to the global pandemic. The Opening the Gates site contains details about the fall semester.
As one student says, “It feels like a sample population of the world, like little pieces of cities around the globe have migrated onto campus.”
Our community is also surprisingly like-minded — in the best of ways. We are inquisitive, inclusive and encouraging. Reflective. Expressive. Approachable. We make change.
Meet some of us who call the Mount Holyoke community home. MoHome.

“I want prospective students to say, ‘When I come to Mount Holyoke, I can make a difference on campus. There are avenues and funding to get involved.’”
“During COVID I felt very lost, like, what do I do now. There was no sense of familiarity. Going back to a CBL program helped me think back to a time where things weren’t as crazy.”
“I love how easy it has been for me to make connections and form relationships. I am grateful for those connections, both as friendships and mentorships.”
