Writing in November 2017, I’m in my second year as head of school but I’ve been at SEM for 10 years in other positions. Each time my role has changed it has given me another perspective on the incomparable SEM community I have the privilege to lead.
Alumnae Giving Cup Status Extended Family Elm Legacy Society Foundations, Trusts, Matching Grants Tributes & Memorials In Memoriam
Students and faculty, families, friends, trustees, and alumnae all have different points of connection with the school yet they have one commonality: commitment to our 168-year-old mission to provide young women with the education and experience they need today, to be the engaged citizens of tomorrow. Thank you for your care and support. Because of you, we exceeded our 2016-17 Annual Fund goal and raised over $520,000. An additional $1,000,000 was raised through endowment funds, targeted gifts, and bequests. By all financial indications the 2016-17 year was a success, but more importantly success is evident in the girls themselves. SEM girls are confident, they are resilient, they are open-hearted, engaged, and of course, they are well-educated, just as their alumnae sisters were, and are.

A snapshot: This fall, our girls volunteered for the John R. Oishei Children’s Hospital move - doing everything from stocking crash carts to filling totes with necessities for patients; they managed a school blood drive; and they collected supplies for the relief effort in Puerto Rico. Our small school has three sports teams competing in fall championships; A Model UN club appearing at its first Canisius College competition; and a Ping Pong club playing in adult competitions and going to finals! At a recent morning meeting, a senior gave a presentation which was laced with humor and references to Moby-Dick (a study of the novel is a new elective). She described her evolution from a disengaged and “staring-out-the-window” freshman at another school to now - a student aimed at a career in the foreign service. At SEM, she said, she conquered her fear of language - struggling until she succeeded with two! I hope every head of school has a community as warm, generous, accomplished, supportive, and caring as I do. Gratefully,

One of the requirements to receive a SEM diploma is service to the greater community. While the requirement ends at graduation, the following alumnae continue to give generously in the same spirit that was so important then and still is today. Support from alumnae is a wonderful gesture of thanks and commitment to SEM’s mission.

“SEM instilled the importance of honesty in me... Building trust is one of the most important aspects of establishing relationships, and trust is based on honesty. In my current role as a Peace Corps Supervisory Medical Officer, I work with physicians all over the world. They see me as their advocate, and a person who will not make false promises, but who will answer their questions with honesty and integrity.”
“When I graduated from Buffalo Seminary, I felt there was nothing I could not do! SEM nurtured and provided me with the confidence to go out into the real world and succeed!” Gladys Herndon-Hill ‘77 Commissioner Department of Human Resources City of Buffalo

Trends and fads may come and go but certain things remain constant for all of us: the lifelong friendships we’ve made, the teachers we’ve admired, the traditions we honor, and the precious memories we treasure.” Left to Right: (standing) Roseanne DeNardo Scibilia, Nancy Heckman Blasberg, Barbara Silverstein, Molly Love Quackenbush, Natalie Silverstein, Ruth Killeen Mullen, Bonnie Jacobowitz Lieberman, Judy Zeckhauser, Chelsea Stanley Kehde, Connie Schweitzer, Nancy Wattles Oliphant,

Sweet 66 June 1, 2017
Feeling sentimental about the Class of 2017, we threw a party in our city backyard. It was a huge success! The girls and their parents mixed with teachers, all of whom wanted to say good-bye to each other. What made it out of the ordinary and particularly fun was that it was off-campus. The party had another success - because it was was held in early June, just before the close of the Annual Fund on June 30, the parents of the class participated in a $15,000 alumna match challenge that helped SEM’s Annual Fund surpass its goal. It was a spur-of-the-moment decision to have the party and worked out so well that we hope we launched a year-end tradition for classes to come. Fun with, and for, the SEM community is a nice last memory as a parent. Erin Kelly & Charlie von Simson Parents of Clare von Simson ‘17 & Grace von Simson ‘13

Marlette, Board Chair Margaret Brown ‘72, and Trustee and 2017 commencement speaker Virginia Schaefer Horvath ‘75 joined newly minted SEM graduates Angela Shi (left) and Catherine Wang (right) and their families after commencement for a celebratory dinner.
