Parent & Family Resource Center 

The Center was established to support the interests of the parents and families of MCLA students. The Center provides a summer orientation, creates a network of parents and families on campus, and facilitates the connections of parents and families with one another. Parents and families also will work with the Center in creating the College's annual Fall Family Weekend. More information about the new ResourceCenter will appear on this page periodically.

For more information about the Center, please contact Theresa O'Bryant at (413) 662-5231, or e-mail her.

The Family Council 

The Council is a voluntary association of parents and other family members of MCLA  undergraduate and graduate students. The Family Council serves to promote a sense of community among parents and enlist participation in various efforts supporting the goals of the College.

The Council:

  • Provides a venue for parents and other family members to share news of the College.
  • Undertakes projects for students/and or the College consistent with the Council goals, including Fall Family Weekend.
  • Supports MCLA through gifts to the Annual Fund, providing much needed resources for students. 

Supporting your student
