Mount Holyoke is part of the Five College Consortium, which also includes Amherst, Hampshire, Smith, and the University of Massachusetts. (Mount Holyoke students can take classes at any of these schools.) Notable alumnae include poet Emily Dickinson and Tony- and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Wendy Wasserstein. Mount Holyoke was founded in 1837 by chemist and educator Mary Lyon.
