Dear Classmates,  

This note will be brief, as I will be sending out a lengthier newsletter later this spring.  Until then, there are two online events open to the whole college community that should be of interest to you:

March 26, 2024 7-8pm ET

Mount Holyoke in the World:  Understanding the Work and Mission of the McCulloch Center for Global Initiatives.  Presenters:  Assistant Director for the Center and Director of Study Abroad April Stroud ’99, plus current students.

When we were students, the McCulloch Center didn’t exist! Learn how the McCulloch Center supports Mount Holyoke as a global community through academic programs on campus, study abroad, and international student support.  If you ever wanted to study abroad but couldn’t, either due to finances or inflexible major requirements, find out how MHC students of today have more opportunities.  Advance registration is required through this link, which you may copy and paste.

April 3, 2024 7pm ET

The Vitality of Botanic Gardens. Hosts:  The Alumnae Association and the MHC Class of 1970.

Did you know that the whole Mount Holyoke campus is treated as a botanic garden?  One thing that unites our class is Mount Holyoke memories of beautiful fall color, fresh snow covering the trees, and flowering trees and bushes in the spring, but I don’t think any of us thought of our beautiful campus as an academic resource. This presentation will highlight the ways in which today’s MHC Botanic Garden is used for academic programs, student and faculty research, conservation, and connecting students and others with the world of plants. Again, advance registration is required, through the following link, which you may copy and paste.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the March4MHC,  to ensure that “Mount Holyoke forever shall be”.  A final report on our class performance in the March4MHC will come in your next newsletter, along with information on our next class Zoom.

With best wishes for spring,

Elizabeth Stone

Co-president, Mount Holyoke Class of 1975
