College Announces Virtual Mountain Day in the Module Break

College Announces Virtual Mountain Day in the Module Break

As Mount Holyoke traditions began to stray far from traditional, the suspicion of a reimagined remote Mountain Day arised. On Sept. 30, an “MHC This Week” update email was sent to students with a memo about Mountain Day 2020. Within the Mount Holyoke community, students had already begun making their own plans, creating Facebook events and listing their Mountain Day ideas in shared Google Sheets. Now, students are also able to share an official Mount Holyoke Mountain Day virtually with other students.

The Module System Receives Mixed Responses From Students

The Module System Receives Mixed Responses From Students

For students around the globe, this academic year is proving to be one like no other. For Mount Holyoke students, not only are all classes online this fall, but the entire academic structure has been reimagined. As previously reported by the Mount Holyoke News, on May 14, 2020, former Dean of Faculty Jon Western shared a letter to the Mount Holyoke community outlining the seven-and-a-half-week semester system now used today.

Professors Share Their Experiences From the Start of the Module

Across departments, professors have expressed that they have been feeling stress, anxiety and confusion, but also immense sympathy, for their students this module. Cramming what should have been a semester’s worth of information and growth into seven weeks is a challenge on both sides of the teaching and learning experience.
