January 2020 NorCal Club Newsletter

Fellow alums,

We’re looking forward to building connections and reconnecting at our upcoming events in 2020. First, we hope you’ll join us at Mount Holyoke Alums in Tech and Innovation, an event hosted by the Alum Association on January 15th. President Stephens will deliver a welcome address, as well as keynotes from Nancy Bellows Perez ‘76 and Professor Katherine Aidala. On January 29th, we’ll prepare care packages at our annual M&C’s Care Packages + Cookie Swap. We hope to see you there!

A friendly reminder that all are welcome and encouraged to attend our events, regardless of Club membership. We aim to support alums in the NorCal area by cultivating a community that is connected, informed, and involved in the life and work of the College. Any feedback or suggestions are greatly appreciated and welcomed.

Well wishes,

The Board
