The Five College Center for East Asian Studies is one of many programs administered by Five Colleges, Incorporated. The member institutions of the consortium are: Amherst, Hampshire, Mount Holyoke, and Smith Colleges, and the University of Massachusetts Amherst. In addition to the Center's commitment to undergraduate East Asian studies at the five institutions, we aim to support, encourage, and improve the teaching of East Asian cultures in elementary, middle, and secondary schools, and two- and four-year colleges in the Northeast. We work to improve the quality, quantity, and distribution of resources for teaching about East Asia at the college and pre-college levels, and to offer opportunities for pre-college educators to experience East Asian cultures firsthand. The Center maintains a Resource Library, publishes a newsletter three times a year, and conducts seminars, institutes, conferences, and workshops for college and pre-college educators.
