Upon retirement, Shelley found herself thinking back to her Mount Holyoke years and her lasting legacy. Her generous gifts will help expand the Art Museum’s collection of Judaica and enhance course offerings through a Jewish lens.

“It means everything to me to give back to Mount Holyoke. I have always felt completely and totally in debt to the College,” says Zoe Hale ’67.

At the end of May, Mount Holyoke welcomed more than 1,200 alums back to campus to reconnect with classmates and create new memories. As part of these celebratory weekends, we recognized the fundraising achievements of this year’s Reunion classes.
