Shout Out to Her Alma Mater
I think you'll enjoy a blog post from a recent graduate of a women's college. Her blog post begins with:
"I cannot believe it has been two whole months since I tossed my mortarboard into the air on the court of Le Mans. My alma mater (literally, nourishing mother) was instrumental in shaping the woman I have become. The friends that I made, the professors I learned from, the places that I traveled, and the opportunities that I had—I wouldn’t change those four years for a college degree from anywhere else. In honor of the class of 2015, here are 15 of the greatest things about Saint Mary’s College."

What this Illustration Major Did this Summer
From Moore College of Art & Design’s Facebook page:

"We were so impressed by her illustrations and work ethic this summer that we decided to invest in a one-day exhibition during our Pre-Fest weekend to display all of the posters she created. The exhibition will also be presented as part of Design Philadelphia." Olivia Antsis, Director, Philadelphia Jewish Film Festival.

Welcome to Meredith Class of 2019
Saturday was Move-In Day at Meredith College. Check out the video and details below.
Meredith College welcomed approximately 440 new first-year students to campus for Move-In Day on Saturday, August 15, 2015. The Class of 2019 is the third largest freshman class to enroll at Meredith in the last seven years.
Members of this class come from 19 states and 12 countries, including China, Colombia, Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Honduras, Kenya, Mexico, Pakistan, Peru, Ukraine, and Zimbabwe.
Like all students at Meredith, the Class of 2018 will benefit from StrongPoints®, an innovative advising and personal coaching model. Students will identify their strengths, and examine over the course of their four years at Meredith how those strengths can help them shape their academic options, experiential involvement outside the classroom, financial goals and the means for achieving those goals, and career options.
“StrongPoints teaches the value of setting goals, determining passions and priorities, and then planning throughout one's education and life experiences,” Meredith College President Jo Allen said. “The StrongPoints strategy makes clear to each student that this is a personal journey, focusing on individual strengths, passions, goals, resources, and decisions.”
