"Once an Ursuline girl, always an Ursuline girl" is a phrase heard often among the nearly 3,500 alumnae of UA. The truth of that phrase was surely evident at the 16th annual Women in Leadership Symposium on Friday, March 1, 2013.
Three Ursuline alumnae, of the Classes of 1978, 1987 and 1991, were answering questions in a Q&A session, bantering like they had known each other for years. A group of seniors in the audience wondered aloud to each other if the women had been friends while at school.
Not quite. They had just met that morning, when they arrived to present at the symposium, but bonded instantly over their shared Ursuline experiences. Once an Ursuline girl, always an Ursuline girl.
Ursuline Academy's annual Women in Leadership Symposium brings distinguished alumnae back to campus to mentor and network with current students and this year we were thrilled to welcome Regina Sullivan '78, Executive VP at Fidelity Investments, Danielle St. Germain-Gordon '87, Chief Development Officer at Arena Stage Theater, and Nancy Kelley-Loughnane '91, Human Signatures Branch Technical Advisor in the Navy, back to campus. Each of our guest speakers gave a talk about her career and personal journeys since leaving the halls of Ursuline, followed by the Q&A and an opportunity for students to speak to the women individually.
Thank you to our wonderful speakers for joining us! Watch all the highlights from Women in Leadership 2013:
