Bring your authentic self to Mount Holyoke. We are a community of individuals — each with our own perspectives, beliefs and experiences — who are here because we want to engage with and celebrate what’s exceptional about each of us. Here, community isn’t about conforming; it’s about belonging. Creating our community is an ongoing process that we undertake together in order to build a place where every person feels welcome, respected and valued.
Whether you’re looking to connect with people who share your values, your background or your interests, there are many ways to create a community at Mount Holyoke that feels right for you. To get some inspiration and ideas from your fellow students, visit We Are Mount Holyoke.
Connect with others who share your beliefs and values for regular worship, holidays and interfaith events.
