Description:Pangynaskeia, a word loosely defined as "cultivating the total world of women--physical, intellectual, and moral," was one of the names that Mary Lyon was considering for her new seminary before the name "Mount Holyoke" won out. In 1979, Pangynaskeia (now commonly called "Pangy Day") debuted as a Mount Holyoke College tradition celebrating this "total world of women." The Green Partners work closely with Dining Services, the Dean of Students Office, and the Pagan Wiccan Collective to sponsor this event, which has become part MHC tradition, part Earth Day celebration. Pangy Day has come to mean food, fun, and community on the MHC campus. Come and join the celebration!
