Class Agent News
Kudos to ‘77
 
In the 2025-2026 fiscal year, the Class of 1977 contributed a record $420,062 to Mount Holyoke’s annual fund for the 2026 fiscal year. That includes $25,000 in matching funds based on our efforts during March4MHC and was well above the goal of $300,000. 411 members of our class made gifts. That puts our participation rate at 45 percent for the year. Thanks to a great team of volunteers and to all classmates that contributed. This will be a big year. We are headed toward our 50th reunion
