    · mount holyoke · PRESIDENT’S REPORT · a note from the · PRESIDENT The College has always been a place where big visions take shape. For over 180 years, we have opened opportunities for students to deepen their understanding and sharpen their response to a fast-changing world with challenges both known and unknown. We prepare students to learn and to lead because in life and work, we know this is what makes all the difference. Now that we have been deeply engaged in the work for two years of our five-year Plan for 2021, I’m delighted to share our progress, including an overview of some of Mount Holyoke’s new strategic initia- tives. In January 2018, we opened the Dining Commons, a part of the new Community Center, which is now also nearing completion. With the extensive renovations to Blanchard Hall we are creating a co-curricular hub in support of student leadership and programs, as well as a coffee shop and pub. We’ve also added new residential, co-curricular, and academic spaces. These spaces are the heart of our community-building efforts, giving more attention to shared endeavors and creating a sense of belonging. They represent a commitment to place at Mount Holyoke, reminding us all of the power of relationships that is in the very warp and woof of the College and the Alumnae Association. There is an energy and excitement to our being in the same space at the same times each day to eat, talk, think, and debate in companionship and cooperation. I hope the stories in these pages excite you about our current initi atives and our plans for the future.

  • HATE CRIMES and the RISE of WHITE NATIONALISM Before the U.S
    Written Testimony of Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) National President Morton A. Klein1 Hearing title: HATE CRIMES AND THE RISE OF WHITE NATIONALISM Before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary, 116th Congress Tuesday April 9, 2019, 10:00 a.m. Rayburn House Office Building, Room 2141 Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) Ranking Member Doug Collins (R-GA) Chairman Nadler, Ranking Member Collins, Members of the Committee: Thank you for holding this hearing. And thank you, Chairman Nadler, for stating in your November 27 letter that this Committee “will likely examine the causes of racial and religious violence.”2 For the past 25 years, I have served as president of the oldest pro-Israel organization in the country, the non-partisan Zionist Organization of America (the ZOA). A key ZOA mission is protecting American Jews and others from antisemitism and violence. As a child of Holocaust survivors, I’ve personally felt the horrors of unbridled antisemitism. I was born in a displaced persons camp in Germany, and grew up without the loving presence of most of my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, whom the Nazis murdered. The FBI reports that Jews are the victims in sixty percent (60%) of religiously-motivated hate crimes.3 Jew-hatred is the canary in the coal mine, the harbinger of hate in society at large. 1 ZOA Director of Special Projects Elizabeth Berney, Esq. assisted with this written testimony. 2 Congressman Jerry Nadler press release and letter, Nov. 27, 2018, at https://nadler.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=391395
