Development Reunion Awards

Support and celebrate Mount Holyoke

Each year, the end of May signifies a special time at Mount Holyoke, as we celebrate the accomplishments of our graduating class and welcome alums back for Reunion.

This year, after two years of gathering virtually due to the pandemic, the College was pleased to return to in-person events to celebrate these milestones. Classes ending in 2s and 7s, as well as the classes of 2020 and 1970, returned to campus to usher in the class of 2022 as the newest alums and create new memories with old friends.

Over the course of two Reunion weekends, we recognized alums who are doing extraordinary work for the Mount Holyoke community and around the world, shared incredible class histories and celebrated the tremendous outpouring of support for the College. In all, Reunion classes have raised more than $11 million for all purposes at Mount Holyoke in the 2021–2022 fiscal year.
