We have to Show the World Who We Are: Trans and Gender Nonconforming History at Mount Holyoke – An Archival Exhibit

Trans and gender nonconforming (TGNC) people have always been part of Mount Holyoke’s history and community, from 1837 to now. Visibility and representation, however, have varied from century to century, decade to decade, year to year, and even day to day.

This exhibition showcases how TGNC people were represented at Mount Holyoke College (MHC) as recorded between 1990 and 2024. It does so during a historic year in the life of the College: 2024 is the 10th anniversary of MHC adopting a TGNC-inclusive admissions policy.
