In a major restructuring of the Department of Athletics, President Danielle R. Holley announced in a May 13 email to the Mount Holyoke community that the College would no longer sponsor a tennis program, effective immediately.

In the time since the announcement, current members and alums of the tennis team have mobilized to save the program. The team is demanding an extension of the program for at least two more years and, during that time, the ability to search for alternative funding options in order to retain the program in the future.
