Favorite MHC Tradition: First year plants--it's a fun introduction to the college and be able to grow alongside a plant for the next few years! 

Why Mount Holyoke?: My experience at MHC has always been and will continue to be defined by the people I'm surrounded by. The people are what drew me to MHC, and the people are what I will carry out of it. 

Outside of cross country, my favorite thing(s) to do at Mount Holyoke is: Enjoy the trails and nature in the area.
