Student Involvement
As part of the Student Life Division, the Office of Student Involvement exists to support students with opportunities for leadership, service, and engagement.
We work to create a vibrant and inclusive co-curricular campus life that sustains Mount Holyoke College students as scholars, and offers them skills for leading a balanced life.
Signature Programs
The Office of Student Involvement plans and implements a variety of signature programming from annual campus traditions to special series programming, all focused on providing opportunities for MHC students to build connections, participate in community, and explore co-curricular offerings.
Some of the office's annual events include campus-wide traditions such as Family & Friends Weekend, No Study Zone and Pangy Day. Student Involvement also offers various special programming, that changes annually to meet the needs and interests of the MHC student population; from monthly bus trips to Friday night movies in Blanchard to DIY series in collaboration with the Fimbel Maker and Innovation Lab to viewing parties in the Great Room.

Fall Fest
Fall Fest is an outdoor fall celebration put on by the Office of Student Involvement on the Saturday of Family & Friends Weekend. Fall Fest is open to all students, friends, and family members and aims to celebrate the MHC Community and the beauty of the Pioneer Valley in the autumn. The celebration includes activities sponsored by Mount Holyoke recognized student organizations and campus departments, Atkin's Farm's famous cinder donuts, goats available for petting, and many other fun fall activities! See the Family & Friends Weekend page for this year's schedule and more details.
