Congratulations to the Class of 2022! If you missed the ceremony or would like to rewatch for special moments, you can view our webcast recording. Thanks to all the students, parents, family members, and friends for joining us in person and virtually on May 14, 2022.

Mills College and Northeastern University are merging to create a bicoastal university powered by Northeastern’s global experiential learning and research, strengthened by Mills’ legacy in women's leadership, equity, and social justice.
In fall 2022, the Mills College campus will host a cohort of first-year Northeastern University students through the N.U.in and NU Bound programs. They'll begin their university experience in one of the nation's most diverse cities with easy access to Berkeley, San Francisco, and Silicon Valley.
Mills has been breaking barriers for women since 1852. We continue to advocate for gender equity as we expand our efforts to fight for racial justice. Learn about our commitment to and progress towards becoming an antiracist institution.
Express Yourself
Take a risk. Question the status quo. Find your voice and use it to advocate for your future and the causes that move you. Read our student profiles.
“Advocacy has always been a part of who I am, and Mills is the place for someone like me.“
“As a female scientist and as an individual, my work with Dr. Swope and my academic experience at Mills have given me confidence in what I’m doing now and in my decisions about where I’ll go next.”
“It’s only been a year, but being here has made me feel like I can be a leader. I know I want to work where social justice and education intersect.”
“The LGBTQ community is strong at Mills. Everyone supports you for who you are. The environment is very accepting, and people often attend events together. I have found solidarity with my friends and the people I have met at Mills.“
“I chose Mills because of its success in preparing post-bac students for medical school. What I didn’t expect was to get communication skills that will help me immensely as I advance in the professional world.”
“I’d like to push this country toward greater equality, and especially feel a deep desire to help LGBTQ+ youth who don’t have as much support and access to information as I do.”
