Ninety Years of Educating Women in Hartford
哈特福德女子学院 began as Mount Holyoke in Hartford, a “noble experiment” in 1933. It came at a time when women had limited access to opportunities in higher education. 多年来, there have been notable celebrations to honor 哈特福德女子学院, some based on its founding in 1933 and other based on its inception as an independent college in 1939. The College’s past and each celebration connects women across decades. The 哈特福德女子学院 legacy is rich with stories.
In 2023, we commemorated “90 Years of Educating Women in Hartford” with a special anniversary event on September 9, 2023 and the publication of a commemorative book. The book celebrates the biographical timeline of events and people that shaped the HCW legacy. 请 电子邮件我们 if you are interested in ordering the 哈特福德女子学院 90th Anniversary commemorative book.
