I can’t be with you today, boys, because my sons have their own final game of the season. But I’m with you in spirit. GO AMHERST! BEAT WILLIAMS. Crank it! #TusksUp 🦣@AmherstCollFB @AmherstCollege

Amherst traditions run deep. Hear from some of our student-athletes on the weekend that brings everyone back to Amherst.

A lovely generous tradition by my alma mater, ⁦⁦@AmherstCollege⁩. So looking forward to receiving my Conway cane. amherst.edu/alumni/conway-ca…

#Amherst2029 is already making history. ✨ With 21% first-generation students—a modern-day record for Amherst—and $21.7 million in financial aid awarded, our newest Mammoths embody Amherst's enduring commitment to access, opportunity and excellence. bit.ly/3IqLxwt

Significant progress continues at Amherst College’s new Student Center & Dining Commons, a building that will serve as the heart of campus life. Rising from the repurposed structure of the former Merrill Science Center, the 144,000-square-foot project combines sustainable mass timber construction with advanced design to foster community, connection, and well-being. Set between the upper quad and the new greenway, the building is taking shape as both a crossroads and a destination—linking dining, recreation, cultural, and community spaces in a cohesive, multi-level environment. From its low-carbon mass timber frame to its expansive terraces overlooking the Holyoke Range, every element is designed to enhance student life while advancing the college’s commitment to climate neutrality by 2030. We’re proud to partner with Amherst, Sasaki, Herzog & de Meuron, and our many trade partners to bring this vision to life. #ShawmutBuilt
