Event Description:
At Mount Holyoke College, we plan to honor our Alumnae leaders by creating a banner that shows their involvement and commitment to leadership both within Mount Holyoke's gates and beyond. Not only will we display alumnae who the Step It Up committee believes best exemplifies leadership, but students are also encouraged to bring photos and descriptions of their own personal leaders to the event. Our most famous alumna and founder, Mary Lyon, will be honored by a Religious Life community address at her grave. The community address connecting leadership, moral obligation and climate change will be followed by a reception and display of the banner in the library.
