�鶹��ý���� senior Rachel Katzenberg ’25 said, “At Mount Holyoke, I 100% found a good community … a large community that wants to help me and see me succeed.”

�鶹��ý���� senior Marley Berano ’25 said, “I was looking for a place to grow [and] challenge myself but also to have a social life or work on the side while not losing my sport at the same time.”

Senior Cynthia Obianuju Akanaga ’25 said, “Mount Holyoke changed my life. I’ve always been afraid of making the wrong choice, but being here helped me put that fear into a positive light.”

Significant renovations are underway to modernize �鶹��ý����’s Kendall Sports & Dance Complex — a key metric for the MHC Forward strategic plan.

�鶹��ý���� hosted its second annual Girls & Women in Sports Day on campus and introduced young people to a variety of sports, including soccer, basketball, volleyball and equestrian activities.

The �鶹��ý���� Equestrian Center has new footing that is completely waterless and considered the best on the market. It will save approximately 3,000 gallons of water each week while ensuring the arenas are safer for horses and riders.

“I definitely feel like I’ve really built such a great community here. Besides my lab and my team, I have made so many friends from different classes and different events. I feel like my community is so large here.”

“My friends and my advisor helped me navigate one of the hardest periods, not just my education but of my life.”

“Peacebuilding refers to the field I want to work in. It addresses systems and the policies that are producing cycles of violence within communities.”

“I wanted the possibility to pursue interests in a lot of different areas without feeling like I needed to choose one track. Mount Holyoke has given me the opportunities to do that. I’ve always felt like a whole student at Mount Holyoke.”
