to the Mount’s Campus Bookstore in 1966! 📖

Long before digital orders and Emmit’s Book Pack through Barnes & Noble College, students had to comb through the shelves by hand to gear up for the semester.

The bookstore has come a long way, but the start-of-semester excitement never changes. Welcome back, Mountaineers! 🎒✨

Alumni Spotlight: Alicia Souder MED'10 C'05 was named Frederick County Public Schools Teacher of the Year for 2025-26—a reminder of the powerful impact the graduates of the Mount's Anthony F. and Alice G. Agnone School of Education have in our communities.

Alicia, who is a Literacy Specialist at Parkway Elementary School in Frederick, MD, has built a career around researching new ways to help children learn to read.

“I fundamentally believe that every child has the right to a high-quality education,” she said. “That's why I love my job; it’s a way I can continue my own professional knowledge and spread that to my colleagues to cast a wider net so that children learn to read."
