ALUMNAE WEEKEND 2022

More than 125 alumnae with graduation years ranging from 1950 to 2019 gathered April 29-30 for the first in-person Alumnae Weekend in two years.

The celebration included inducting 59 seniors into the alumnae community, recognizing longtime Director of Development at CSG Carolyn Thomas Christy ’60 as Alumna of the Year, and honoring Saba Rehan ’22 with the Virginia Colgan McCloud Award as voted by her peers.

Alumnae Association to thank her for her eight years as CSG’s leader.

As festivities continued, alumnae experienced hands-on learning. They met with faculty and students to learn about CSG opportunities in the areas of leadership; global engagement; computer science; and diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. Though they didn’t know it at the time, these sessions were an exclusive preview of the Power & Promise campaign for our Alumnae Weekend goers.

Attendees congratulated members of the Class of 1972 for celebrating their milestone 50th reunion, and everyone learned the new CSG Fight Song together. Alumnae also devoted time to honoring fundraising efforts. The Class of 1987 was awarded the Red/Gold Cup for the most funds raised, while the Class of 1967 earned the Champagne Cup for the highest participation in giving to the Annual Fund. Perhaps most prominent throughout the weekend were the connections made between alumnae and students. Carol Benua Major ’67 and Natasha Spivak ’22 formed a quick friendship during the networking reception and planned to keep in touch. Anne Jeffrey Wright ’70 offered Carly Priest ’22 a place to do her laundry next year—Carly is a studentathlete at Haverford College now just minutes away from Anne. And Caroline Orrick ’72 and Zydeco Lamaze ’22 connected over their love of clowning!

Plan to join us next Alumnae Weekend April 28-29, 2023. Remember, all classes are always welcome!
