This fall, Westminster launched a yearlong celebration of 50 years of coeducation to showcase the important role of women in the school’s history since the first group of 12 girls arrived on campus as day students in 1971. Special programming is taking place throughout the 2021-2022 academic year, including panel discussions, guest readers and a celebratory event in April. For the most up-to-date schedule, please visit www.womenofwestminster.org/events. The Bulletin’s coverage of this milestone year begins in this issue with reflections about coeducation from six alumnae across the decades, a timeline of firsts for women at Westminster and highlights from some of the events that have taken place. Planning for the celebration has been spearheaded by a committee composed of alumni and faculty, and co-chaired by Trustee Renée Lynch Carrel ’84, P’19, ’21 and Director of Advancement Operations Shannon O’Shaughnessy.
