QuestBridge: Amherst Chapter

Hello! Welcome to Amherst College’s QSN Chapter. We are a socially active group of FLI-identifying students inclusive to the entire Amherst community who spend time with each other through events, small-group discussions, outings, and volunteer service. We have been officially recognized by Amherst for several years, and we plan on expanding the chapter by collaborating with other groups on campus. We have begun collaborating more with the admissions office and have hosted events for admitted students’ weekend, among other things. A staple of ours is hosting study break events with delicious food and even better company. We also traditionally host a celebration for Quest Week, a week celebrating the efforts of Questies across the country. We hold yearly multi-campus collaborations with other Western Mass-based QSN chapters, where members come together to unwind and connect after a long academic year. We also collaborate with FGLI-aligned organizations on campus to form an alliance of community, programming, and meaningful engagement. We have held discussions in the past with admissions on the significance of having a QSN Chapter on campus, and about what makes Quest so important to them. We hope to do more collaboration-based events along with other community service events in the next year, and can’t wait for you to join us!
