Yes, researchers tell us that less than 5% of high school-aged women will even consider applying to women’s colleges, but we wrote this for all young women who are thoughtfully analyzing ALL of their college options. We also wrote this guide to help arm high school guidance counselors, independent college counselors, and community-based college advisors with valid, interesting, and perhaps even funny information about women’s colleges they can share with their students. So, if you’re a high school student reading this guide, our goal is to provide you with an alternative viewpoint on your college search, one that you may not have previously thought about.

    The Inauguration of Lynn Pasquerella Eighteenth President of Mount Holyoke College .. The Inauguration of Lynn Pasquerella Eighteenth President Friday, the Twenty-fourth of September Two Thousand and Ten Two O’clock in the Afternoon Richard Glenn Gettell Amphitheater Mount Holyoke College South Hadley, Massachusetts One of the benefits of studying at a women’s college was being able to look at issues from the perspective of a community of women. That opportunity shaped my commitment to women’s education. I believe that our commitment to women’s education and leadership must extend beyond the academy into the extramural community to change the lives of women around the world in order to provide the access that we’ve been privileged to receive. — President Lynn Pasquerella · 2 · The President ynn Pasquerella, a celebrated philosopher and medical ethicist, assumed the presidency L of Mount Holyoke College on July 1, 2010. Her appointment marks a homecoming for Pasquerella, who enrolled at Mount Holyoke in 1978 as a transfer student from Quinebaug Valley Community College. While working full-time to support herself, Pasquerella majored in philosophy and graduated magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Mount Holyoke in 1980. A native of Connecticut, Pasquerella was the first in her family to graduate from college. Encouraged by her Mount Holyoke professors to pursue graduate study, she received a full fellowship to Brown University, where she earned a Ph.D. in philosophy. From 1985 to 2008, Pasquerella taught philosophy at the University of Rhode Island. In 2004, she became associate dean of URI’s graduate school and, in 2006, was named vice provost for research and dean of the graduate school.
