Statement from Five College Consortium
Executive Director Dr. Sarah Pfatteicher
April 14, 2026: We are deeply saddened by the news that Hampshire College will cease operations at the end of this year and what this means for students, faculty, staff, and alumni. This is a loss for them, but also for the Connecticut River Valley, and for young students everywhere who thrive on creativity and individuality. The Five College Consortium, working with its member campuses, will seek to assist in the transition of students to other programs. Hampshire College was forged from a collaborative and committed spirit, and we will call on those same values as we help those served by the college and those who serve it to discover their next chapter.
