There was a tremendous outpouring of support from our community, all wanting to express their appreciation for the alumnae who not only pave the way, but who also choose to give back to MHC to support future generations of students. We collected hundreds of postcards with heartfelt messages (and even a poem!) but they all shared a sense of joy, respect, love, and deepest appreciation for the alumnae who made this education possible.

“Thank you so much for the irreplaceable opportunities that you have provided me. This place has helped me find a strength within me that I never knew existed.”

“I have met some of the most amazing women during my time here. Many of them do not come from the financial background that would allow them to attend MHC without a scholarship. Thank you so, so much for providing the means for their education. The campus and community are enriched by their presence.”

“Thank you for helping me find my voice. The skills I have learned at Mount Holyoke College help me achieve great things every day. I never would have been able to achieve these things without the generous support of alumnae like you.”

“Today I want you to know that you have given me more than a monetary contribution. Your gift has allowed me to study abroad, learn a new language, and obtain the best education in the sciences. It is in part because of you, that I will attend medical school and become a physician that will encourage diversity, and break language barriers in the healthcare field. I will one day follow in your footsteps, and will have other Mount Holyoke women achieve their dreams.”

“Thank you for giving me the tools to explore, learn, and thrive. Proud to be a part of Mount Holyoke! Mount Holyoke forever shall be!”

“As a current faculty member and also alum of the College, THANK YOU for supporting our wonderful alma mater. Alumnae support is crucial to the College and enabled my family to pay for me to attend Mount Holyoke. Financial aid enables us to accept diverse, excellent students without regard for their ability to pay. Thank you.”
