Hampshire College Expects Largest Incoming Class in 5 Years
Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts, has announced its largest incoming class in five years.
In 2019, Hampshire was in trouble. Facing financial challenges, it laid off staff, limited the number of students entering in the fall and explored the possibility of a merger. The president at the time was replaced and a major fundraising campaign began. Hampshire President Ed Wingenbach said the college is in a much different place now.
