About Us

Our Mary Woolley LLC is a community that is designed to support students as they explore and express their whole selves, including their gender identities and sexualities in a safer and affirming environment with particular regard to those complexities which pertain to the historical and contemporary experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, aromantic, pansexual, polysexual and allied people. Mary Woolley community residents commit to fostering a community, that builds solidarity, honors the heritage of identities that transcend existing binary systems and intersections of identities while working towards justice and equity for all. Ths community is named after, Mary Woolley, the 11th president of Mount Holyoke College. While Mary Woolley accomplished many feats in her 36-year term as president, today she is remembered for laying a foundation for LGBTQ inclusiveness at the College.
