Presented by the Passages

and ISOC Boards

Did we really have this much for everyone to eat at

the beginning of the day????

It’s only 8:30 am and the Passages Team has

already got a customer!

Trishna and ISOC are already anxiously waiting for

the first international student to arrive!

Tanya is chilling out on the couch!

Passages has really got traffic—where are the

international students? Did they get lost already?

Therene is still waiting for that

first new ―firstie‖ from Jamaica!

There’s a momentary lull – ISOC and Passages

board members take a short break!

Okay—here we go!

The first international student to arrive!

Okay, guys--let’s rehearse for Orientation 101!

We just couldn’t survive without Andrea!

Okay, okay—you’re very cute!

Now let’s get on with it!

Could you please direct me to the nearest

automatic bank teller?

Drum roll…we are proud to present the women of

ISOC and their friendship necklaces!

Gladys is just so welcoming…!

Yes, believe it or not, I was just told I have to

buy a metal wastebasket!

Hiking in Skinner State Park – isn’t it gorgeous!

It’s much easier when you can go downhill!

And act crazy while you’re doing it…!

One of the current and former ISOC co-chairs ―yuk it up!‖

Remember we came up here on Mountain Day when

we were first years…oh, we’re so old!!!!

The Pioneer Valley at its finest!

Did you know that this used to be a hotel…and

that Abraham Lincoln slept here?

Even Mom is enjoying herself!

Yes, this hiking thing is really very serious

business in New England!

We’re preparing ourselves for Mountain Day!

Are we having fun yet?

Yes, I guess we are having fun!

We’re certainly enjoying our lunch…

…and all the great conversations we’re having!

Look at the view from here—isn’t it spectacular!

Look, I live in Germany near the Alps. What do you

want me to say? Okay, I’m impressed…

It’s called ―bonding‖—is that a new word for you?

Should I take the turkey sandwich or

the vegetarian alternative?

Hey, I’ll be back. I just want to get some more water!

Is it time to go shopping yet? I’ve got to

get that metal wastebasket…

Okay, back to the busses! Remember to

throw out your trash…

ISOC co-chairs (Aazia, Minji, Trishna) bonding

at Hampshire Mall!

Do students really need to buy so many sheets?

Wow!!!! This place has everything!

Wait until I tell Mom and Dad that I had to buy

a metal wastebasket!

I just needed to get some supplies for

the next couple of days…

Shopping is my life!!!

It’s her life, too!

Hey, where’s your metal wastebasket ?!!

Hurry, hurry! We’ve got to get back to school!

Even Dad couldn’t find a metal wastebasket to buy!

Good vibes at the ISOC/Passages Dance Party!

C’mon…shake your booty!

Isn’t the DJ going to play our favorite song?

They sure give us enough to eat at this place!

And a 1 and a 2 and a 3…shake, rattle and roll!

Hey, we just learned these steps. Give us a break!

Party on, Wayne! Party on, Garth!

It’s hard to learn these newfangled American dances!

We’re going to rock

until the sun comes

up…or classes start!

C’mon now – keep up that energy!

There you go! One, two, three, kick! One, two, …!

I used to be a dance instructor at home, so

don’t you start with me!

Boy, these new students are EXHAUSTING…!

Orientation 101 rocks!

So does Nicky Hylton…and her dog Paris!

Go Nicky, go Nicky, go Nicky…!

So…you think you want to join a Mount

Holyoke org, huh?

Enjoying the Welcome Picnic with friends and family!

This food is AWESOME!

Yeh, I’m still exhausted and jet lagged.

But I’m happy to be at MHC!

WELCOME to all new students at MHC!

Let the games (and semester) begin!
