Why I Chose to Attend a Women's College by Jaime Chak-mei Tung '06
Today, I'm sharing a FaceBook post from Mount Holyoke College referencing a 2006 graduate, Jaime Chak-mei Tung and her recent blog post, “Why I Chose to Attend a Women's College."
Alumna Jaime Chak-mei Tung '06 didn't plan on attending a women's college, but says Mount Holyoke "got" her in a way that other schools didn't. Once on campus, she learned: "Speak until you are heard. Use your intelligence. Be skeptical. Be inquisitive. Work hard. You can do better."
If you would like to read Jamie's blog post, Why I Chose to Attend a Women's College, click here.
I also penned two Huffington Post blog posts, sharing stories from high school students that you might enjoy:

Harvard Business School Recruitment Program Targets Women’s Colleges
Just as Harvard Business School now is recruiting from women’s colleges for its MBA program, my prediction is that top employers also will be doing the same when it comes time to recruit new employees.

“One tactic the school is taking is the freshly-launched PEEK program, a new recruiting initiative that targets student leaders at women’s colleges across the country. . . . “It’s the construct of a women’s college we’re finding intriguing,” Dee Leopold, Harvard’s head of MBA admissions and financial aid told the Wall Street Journal. Women’s college students “have been leaders on their campuses,” she said.”
