�Ӱ���̳

For the third year, a �Ӱ���̳ student from western Massachusetts has received financial support from PeoplesBank.

At MHC I’ve had the support and encouragement of faculty, staff and fellow students who pour their time, energy and hearts into making �Ӱ���̳ a community that lifts students up to achieve their dreams and goals.

“We transform people who come to us with ability and determination. ... My principal goal is to learn who it is I'm teaching and figure out what they care about, what interests them as a passion, and how I can be supportive of them to follow that passion.”

“Scholarly engagement really enriches the academic mission of the College and that translates into opportunities for students and faculty. It allows me to think about the different aspects of what I do as an educator and scholar in a synthesized way.”

“Having students being able to stay here through the summer, being paid and having a stipend while they dive into the research for several weeks at a time, has made a big difference. They don’t have to worry about having to go and work somewhere else while doing research.”

“Having financial aid and scholarships has been huge. It meant I could work a few hours less and have time to study and do orgs, relax a little bit and decompress from the chaos of the world. I’m so grateful for it.”

Alex Moreno ’22 has a passion for improving her communities. When you invest in scholarship aid at �Ӱ���̳, you enable students like Alex to find their home and strengthen their communities.

Inspired by the College’s focus on community service, Erica Lutes ’02 makes a difference at home and abroad.

Generous gifts to the Meet the Moment scholarship initiative mean a �Ӱ���̳ education will be accessible to a wide range of students.

“�Ӱ���̳ College is a unique place in that alums come away with the imperative to give back to students,’
