“Looking at the ways I perceive something — and challenging the ways I perceive it — is super interesting to me. I like to challenge my own perspective a lot, and that’s something that I don’t think I really would have learned without Mount Holyoke.” — Bobbie Green ’19, whose recent film, (0,∞), won the Lawrence Kasdan Award for best narrative film at the Ann Arbor Film Festival and is now eligible for an Academy Award 📽️⁠

"Imagine a new generation of Mary Lyons."

Those were Melinda French Gates' closing words as she accepted the Smithsonian National Museum of American History's Great Americans Medal.

Reflecting on Mary Lyon's vision for Mount Holyoke, Gates reminded us that when more people marginalized on the basis of gender have access to education, the future changes. Nearly 190 years later, that bold, defiant vision continues to shape leaders.
