2011 Alumnae Parade and Laurel Chain Ceremony

It's so wonderful to be back and it was very strange as we drove into campus.
Both my grand daughter and I said, " you know, it feels like we're coming home".
((Alumnae marching. Chattering, cheering, and music.))
And today, the Laurel we place in honor of our founder symbolizes glory, honor,
achievement and commemorates the hard work and dedication invested in our college
careers. We arrived at this campus as young curious girls and we left as strong, gifted,
inspired Mount Holyoke women.
