About Us

The Athlete Empowerment Coalition strives to provide a safe space for Mount Holyoke Student-Athletes of color and First-Generation Student-Athletes to get to know one another and become better connected to the greater Mount Holyoke community; to provide these student-athletes, who are often the only student-athlete of color or first generation student-athlete on their team, with a community brought together by a shared love of sports; to help Student-Athletes navigate the resources available on campus; to work with the athletics department to ensure equity on all levels of athletics; and to uphold Mount Holyoke College's mission to bring together students from all backgrounds to form an inclusive community.
