Upcoming 2026 Conversations and Connections

Posted in: Announcements, Conversations and Connections: Pegasus Pathways

Take a break from your busy lives and join us for more Conversations and Connections in the coming months. We start in February with Deborah Richards, the MHC Archivist in Chief, who will give us the lowdown on all things collectible. Maybe you will have a MHC treasure to contribute? Then we go back to dorm life 1837-style in March, and complete the trifecta of 1978 zooms with April’s topic: Bone Health.
We hope you will be able to attend one or more of our Pegasus Pathways special events. As always, the conversations will be recorded and posted on the 1978 Facebook page.

THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW (OR SAW!) RE: MHC
Tuesday, February 3 at 7:30 p.m. EST (on Zoom)
Since 2021, Deborah Richards has been the Director of Archives and Special Collections at Mount Holyoke. Did you know the Archives has a costume collection, with cloth that Mary Lyon wove herself? Discover the fascinating assortment of records and memorabilia in the Archives, and what staff do to collect and preserve letters, diaries, photos and scrapbooks from students, faculty and staff.
1837 IS NOT JUST A YEAR
Wednesday, March 25 at 7:30 p.m. EST (on Zoom)
There were a lot of us in 1837 freshman year! Nancy Rosoff promises to take us down memory lane and behind Lower Lake in a celebration of 1837 life. What made it a special dorm? Do you have memories to share? If you lived there or just visited, join us to remember and reconnect with friends and visitors across four years at MHC. 
OSTEOPOROSIS: TREATMENT OPTIONS AND KEEPING OUR BONES STRONG
Wednesday, April 29 at 7:30 p.m. EST (on Zoom)
Most likely you have had a bone density test by now and may be wondering what’s next? Studies suggest that approximately one in two women and up to one in four men age 50 and older will break a bone due to osteoporosis. Maureen Kuhn (and colleague) will discuss symptoms, causes and treatments for this “silent” disease and how to prevent bone density loss.
NOTE: Zoom links will be sent to you one to six days before the programs. No need to register.
