SOUTH HADLEY — Following protests from families, Mount Holyoke College has announced that the on-campus Gorse Children’s Center, which was previously slated to close at the end of June, will remain open for another year.
In a message to the Mount Holyoke and extended communities, college President Sonya Stephens said she was “deeply sorry” for the stress caused by the college’s initial announcement that Gorse would close in the summer.
