Hampshire College to close permanently after fall semester due to financial struggles #HampshireCollege #Education
@Nonilex #HampshireCollege is closing. But take heart my friends from Hampshire. #AntiochCollege also closed and rose from the dead thanks to efforts by alumni. The same spirit and drive that made us choose a different kind of educational experience, endures.
Best wishes.

Many small #schools have struggled to enroll students in places facing population declines, a […]

GP: Far Left Hampshire College in Massachusetts Closing Permanently Amid Collapsing Enrollment and Financial Struggles (VIDEO) #HampshireCollege
One of my classmates at #hampshirecollege was Eugene Mirman. We hung out a bunch our first year. We had a crush on the same girl.
His final project was a standup act, 45 minutes or an hour or something. Like an HBO special.
That’s what the school was for: helping you figure out how to do the […]
RIP to a Massachusetts Legend #hampshirecollege
Heartbroken to know #HampshireCollege will not survive these stormy times. As a member of its first class, I reflect on its origins, struggles, and great contributions here www.theatlantic.com/education/ar...
#hampshirecollege ‘s primary pedagogical impulse was to prioritize learning over teaching.
That doesn’t sit well with educational-industrial systems.
#hampshirecollege
It was supposed to be pedagogical R&D, the cutting edge of how young adults learn to become wise and effective stewards of the world.
It was to be supported by Amherst, Mt. Holyoke, Smith, and UMass’s budgets, so they could take what Hampshire learned and develop their […]
#hampshirecollege was where I studied cognitive science, art, and education as part of a single magnum opus.
I got to make art about ALife. I got to learn about Jean Piaget and how humans learn through play.
I got to play roleplaying games with Rod Roddenberry.
I got to stay up for days on […]
The world will lose something deeply special when #hampshirecollege closes at the end of this year.
Without it, I’d have never found my way.
I taught there, too, founding its game design program curriculum, helping my fellow weirdos find their ways.
You probably know about Lupita Nyong’o […]

I was saddened to read today of the closure of Hampshire College.
Not only should we regret the lives of students, faculty, and staff being thrown into turmoil, but we should also lament the loss of an institute of learning, a loss that diminishes […]
My career in sustainable agriculture and as a researcher traces back to Hampshire courses and projects, to the Farm Center and to the Community Garden, as well as 5 College Consortium courses and so much that it provided culturally. #HampshireCollege
This is beyond tragic. I’m still very proud of the work I did at #HampshireCollege. It was the perfect school for me.

Hampshire College to close after 2026 fall semester: report #HampshireCollege #Education
2030. Party. Alums, let’s get to it. #hampshirecollege
Anyone who cares about institutional leadership, creative formation, and space for the people who don’t easily fit ( #Church, I’m looking at you 👀 who talk a good game about Jesus on the margins) should also grieve the end of #HampshireCollege as we’ve know it.
Sad to learn that Hampshire College will be closing down.
Witness these poets: Sean Mulroy, Emily O'Neill, Sam Teitel, Sophia Holz, Charley Pope, Andy Locke—these were all students at Hampshire in 2008! WHAT? An embarrassment of riches.

I’ll end up writing something longer soon… but for now all I have to describe the likely impending closing of #HampshireCollege is deep devastation.
There’s a normie liberal arts education—& then there’s Hampshire.
When ppl wonder how I self taught into pub health & HIV— that’s the answer.

Had a wonderful time talking about NYC pirate radio as part of Junko Oba’s Powerful Frequencies course at Hampshire College yesterday!
