Our network of alums around the world share their time, insight and connections 鈥 these of course being code words for power. Alums of women鈥檚 colleges arguably constitute the most influential professional-women鈥檚 networks on the globe.
Keeping Mount Holyoke鈥檚 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.
Last year, 4,113 alums made gifts of $100 or less, totaling $237,034. Gifts of all sizes, big and small, have a huge impact!
There are 141 countries that alums call home.
The Alumnae Association is an independent organization that connects the global community of 成人视频alums with each other and the College as we create meaningful change in the world.
