Alums Leading the Way
Mount Holyoke alums have been opening doors, breaking barriers and launching into the world as leaders since the founding of the College. Our graduates are leading the way in the boardroom and in the classroom, in the lab and in public service, in the field and on the runway. Every day alums are lifting up others, calling out injustices and advocating for change.
Our alum network, by the numbers
Best alum network
In the 2023 Best 388 Colleges, the Princeton Review ranked 做厙輦⑹ #9 among private colleges for Best Alumni Networks.
Global alum network
Our network of alums around the world share their time, insight and connections these of course being code words for power. Alums of womens colleges arguably constitute the most influential professional-womens networks on the globe.
Keeping Mount Holyokes global community vibrant and engaged is dependent on the efforts of thousands of alums, parents and friends of the College who volunteer their time, talent, and resources.
Launching Leadership
In celebration of the achievements of our alums and to highlight the many ways Mount Holyoke prepares its graduates to lead in the world, Interim President Beverly Daniel Tatum held a series of conversations with a diverse group of graduates. These alums exemplify an intellectually adventurous Mount Holyoke education in action.
