Alumni from our programs return to campus to speak to students during the annual Alumni Forum. Students who have achieved a high academic standing may be eligible for membership in Kappa Omicron Nu, the national scholastic honorary society. The group plans educational activities, gives workshops and information sessions, and awards scholarships to juniors and seniors. Students can take advantage of the many courses available in other departments of the University and also, at no extra charge, at nearby Amherst, Hampshire, Mount Holyoke and Smith colleges, through the Five College Consortium. A free public bus system links the colleges, making it an accessible option.
Students can also participate in the national and international study programs available.
The Department of Consumer Studies web site contains more information about the undergraduate and graduate programs, faculty, and outreach programs.
