It is Mountain Day! September 30th, 2021

It’s Mountain Day!

From Liz Gershon

Hi everyone, and Happy Mountain Day! I hope everyone is enjoying this day and able to get outside, even for a little bit. And we should also remember the fun times we had on this day at the College.  And I wanted to share this picture of my beautiful mug that you all gave to me at the last reunion. I treasure it and use it all the time, even when it’s not Mountain Day. 

From the Alumnae Association

Here at the College, classes are canceled, and students are enjoying a day off. You may not be able to join President Sonya Stephens and the students, faculty and staff on the summit of Mt. Holyoke, but you can still take part in the occasion. Below are some ways you might join in the fun of this well-loved tradition, either today or at a time that works for you!

No matter how you choose to celebrate, we hope you’ll take a picture and share with the community using #MtnDayMHC on any social media channel.
