Presenting MHC Forward: the strategic plan for Mount Holyoke College

Dear members of the Mount Holyoke campus community,

This far-reaching plan, which will take us through the next decade, has been shaped by the vision of students, staff, faculty, alums, trustees and friends. MHC Forward builds on more than 180 years of tradition to guide our next trailblazing chapter.

MHC Forward will magnify Mount Holyoke’s position as the leading gender-diverse women’s college. We will continue to advance innovation, research and an inclusive liberal arts education. The plan addresses the changing needs of our students, setting them on a path to successful lives and careers by:

• Adapting how we communicate, learn and teach.
• Enhancing learning-by-doing opportunities.
• Strengthening our infrastructure.
• Building resources to ensure a thriving future.

I invite you to explore the elements of the strategic plan and discover how they position Mount Holyoke to:

• Attract, support and retain remarkable students, faculty and staff.
• Build a more sustainable and accessible campus.
• Strengthen alum and strategic partner engagement.
• Elevate our contributions to the world.

This plan would not be possible without the acuity, inspiration and ambition of the entire Mount Holyoke community. Together, we will confidently move the College forward into its next era of educating bold and boundless leaders.

Sincerely,

Danielle R. Holley
President
