Welcome to the final summer episode of The Summit, a new podcast from Mount Holyoke News! We’ll be giving you the highlights from each MHN publication to keep you up-to-date with the Mount Holyoke community. Today we’ll be previewing the TGNC10 project that will celebrate 10 years of trans-inclusive admissions at Mount Holyoke this fall, as well as hearing what students thought of the food options available in the Dining Commons over the summer.

CORRECTION 9/1/2024: This podcast episode identifies Lily Rood '27 as "the first openly transgender class president at Mount Holyoke," which is inaccurate to the description provided in the ⁠original article⁠ that section of the script is based on. Rood is more specifically noted there to be "the first openly trans woman to be a class president at Mount Holyoke."
