A rich assortment of campus and community organizations and resources support LGBTQ students and advocate for the respect and safety of all members of their communities.

In support of Five College academic opportunities, a dining meal exchange is available for any student enrolled in a meal plan at one of the Five Colleges.

Multicultural Resources

Organizations and resources support students of color through programs and workshops, fostering leadership skills, student affinity groups, student leadership opportunities, and more.

RELIGIOUS & SPIRTUAL LIFE

Respective programs seek to stimulate and nurture spiritual development, religious practice, tolerance, and social engagement consistent with the values of academic freedom, mutual respect, diversity, and interfaith dialogue.

CLUBS & ORGANIZATIONS

Most clubs, intramural sports, and extracurricular activities on each Five College campus are open to Five College students. The exception is varsity sports, which in most cases are not open to students from other campuses.

Student Event Funding

The Student Coordinating Board, made up of student leaders from each campus, often has funds available to support events aimed at bringing together students from all five campuses.

As a Hampshire student, Sam took a few classes that involved in-depth discovery of the various Five College archives. In a course through Amherst College entitled Hybrid Forms, students explored the archives there to find inspiration for creating their own historical, hybrid works. Sam’s final project for that course took the form of a scrapbook based on his Hampshire experience and the desire to add his voice to the archives.

One of my favorite parts of the Five College Consortium is the rich history that is held here, and I hope that future Five College students continue to take advantage of — and add their own voices to — that history.
