Thank you for your steadfast support of Mount Holyoke College. Your consistent support of Mount Holyoke, in times of celebration and uncertainty, means so much to our beloved community.

As a Laurel Chain Society member, you are a crucial part of the legacy of philanthropy that has sustained Mount Holyoke since its founding in 1837. Your continued investment in our students, faculty and staff has helped to ensure that we can meet the challenges of the moment with curiosity, courage and clarity of purpose. As we redefined the meaning of community and refocused our work to meet the needs of our students — in South Hadley and around the globe — we were bolstered by the knowledge that we had the strength of the Mount Holyoke community behind this important work.

As a small gesture of thanks, we want to share some digital resources with you. We hope you enjoy these digital wallpapers for your smartphone.

Thank you for your generosity and for your partnership in creating a yet stronger future for Mount Holyoke. Because you sustain the chain, Mount Holyoke forever shall be.
