2025-2026 Language Mentors
Most languages taught at Mount Holyoke College have mentors who offer weekly Language Open Hours to the MHC students in the Language & Culture Commons in Ciruti.
Mentors have met the language departments’ criteria for language proficiency. They are trained at the start of each semester and continue to develop their language assistance skills through guided reflection, exploration, and study activities.
