Minutes of Open Meetings

On this page you will find meeting dates, agendas, and minutes related to meetings of the Holyoke Community College Board of Trustees and its subcommittees.

Board meetings are held on the fourth Tuesday of each month at 8 a.m. They are traditionally held in Frost 309 but have shifted to Zoom during the COVID-19 pandemic. Meetings in July and December are sometimes canceled, and occasionally meetings may need to be rescheduled. Contact Karen Desjeans at kdesjeans@hcc.edu or 413.552.2168 for information or to request a link to the Zoom meeting.

Please note: Minutes from the previous month's meeting are included in the following month's attachments. Example: Minutes from the January 2020 board meeting are in the February 2020 attachments.
