Alumnae Profile Susana Capra ‘04 Sara McCarthy ‘05
When I think back on my time at Alverno, there are two things that I am most grateful for: the teachers who inspired my educational journey and my friends. All of the teachers I had at Alverno were dedicated not just to the subject they taught but to the students in their classroom. I learned so much from them about the world, about the importance of using our gifts to make a difference in that world, and their work ultimately inspired me to return back to Alverno.
Alverno has always been a special place for young women whether that was in 1960, 2005, or today. I am grateful for my classmates who made me laugh, who pushed me, and who have been my sisters and stood beside me on some of the brightest and darkest days of my life. Now back at Alverno, I have the blessing of growing that sisterhood with not just the women I work with who are alumnae, but also our current students as well.

I loved my time at Alverno as a student. I made amazing friends and was inspired by my teachers. We were empowered to be strong women and that is why we continue to teach today. Rocio Alcaraz ‘96 I loved being part of the National Art Honor Society and providing service opportunities for students. The teachers were always supportive and cheered you along the way. My favorite subject was English with Ms. Fanara and Ms Holmgren. Having Whoopi Goldberg (who was filming on campus) wave to me while reading inside the library is still my favorite story to tell!
