“I’m grateful to nurture this place,” says Heidi, “where women from around the world can flourish and develop that fearlessness that is part of Mount Holyoke.”

“Mount Holyoke did so much for me,” said Helen. “I don’t want finances to be a barrier for the next generation. Who knows what kinds of innovations they can produce, given the opportunity?”

“By being better versions of ourselves, we encourage others to be better versions of themselves,” said Irene. “That’s my philosophy.”

“Mount Holyoke provided me an education that served me well for my whole life. It’s that simple.”

Mount Holyoke students dove into the future, applying interdisciplinary skills to technology innovation by designing ethical AI solutions for real-world issues in the College’s first-ever AWS Generative AI Case Competition.

“Mount Holyoke was within the world. It wasn’t walled off from what was going on socially at the time,” she said. “But it was also a sanctuary — a place where people could experiment with their identity and find who they were, safely.”

Alum Shoshana Walter ’07, an investigative journalist, credits her Mount Holyoke education with fueling her drive to expose injustice. Her book “Rehab: An American Scandal” details how a flawed treatment system fails those battling addiction.
