From Liz Webfoot:  The chat group has been discussing MHC’s exchange with Bennett College while we were there.  Some of us remembered it, and some didn’t.  It was brought to our attention that there is a threat of closure for the college because they simply don’t have enough money to keep it open.  Below are emails and a link so that you can help fund this dying institution.  Please scroll down to “Exchange with Bennett College<\/strong>” and read the letter from Susan Pogue Krock who participated in the <\/span><\/em>exchange and helps us understand why we should all help.  I don’t know how to identify us donors as MHC alums, but I’m waiting for a call from the Alumnae Association.  Happy New Year!  12\/31\/2018<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you Sue for a most thoughtful letter.  I hadn’t remembered the exchange program either but after reading your note and checking online, perhaps your idea of a class donation would be a good one.<\/p>\n

Here is a link to an article about their  dilemma.  It is huge!   But the history of the school since 1873 I believe is admirable! <\/div>\n
