We Are Mount Holyoke

Meet our community. See yourself here.

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.
