Welcome from the Executive Director

had the pleasure recently of attending Mount Holyoke’s campaign kickoff celebration on October 28, a day of rain and wind that could not dampen the high spirits of all around me.

Many things impressed me about the event: the hundreds of alumnae who came to campus the show their support, the strong sense of partnership and purpose felt by all of us there—faculty, administration, and alumnae—and perhaps most of all, the energy of the diverse and wonderfully talented MHC students who performed that evening. Watching them, I was reminded of what our alumnae support really means. When we give back to the College, we contribute to the brilliant future of our younger sisters, carrying on the tradition established by our MHC sisters before us. I left the celebration that night with a feeling of renewed pride in my alma mater and in our community of dedicated alums: $80 million of the $300 million campaign goal has already been raised through alumnae generosity.

Another recent campus event I attended testified to that same spirit of generosity and community. “The Legacy of Peter Viereck,” a memorial symposium held on November 3, honored the life and work of the Mount Holyoke professor emeritus of history who died in May. Faculty, guest scholars, and many generations of alumnae attended, coming together in memory of a beloved professor and friend. I was particularly moved by the remembrances of Peter’s family and by a poem read by historian William S. McFeely, who taught with Peter at MHC for 16 years. Bill paid tribute to Peter both as a remarkable individual and as an influential intellectual—a person who touched lives as a scholar and poet, and especially, as a human being.

Practicing scholarship and cultivating friendship, reaching for greatness and giving to others—that seems to me the true spirit of Mount Holyoke. It’s a spirit I still try to live by—and I’m pleased to tell you it’s alive and well in our Educational Travel Program. Next March, the Alumnae Association’s new Janet Tuttle Alumnae and Student Service Travel Program will offer seven alumnae and seven MHC students the opportunity to work with Habitat for Humanity’s Global Village Program in Costa Rica. If you’re looking for a way to practice your Spanish and your home constructions skills at the same time (even if you don’t know the difference between a header and a hip roof), this may be the trip for you. The program is by application only. To find more information or to submit a late application, click here.

What are your favorite ways of giving back during the holiday season (or at any time)? How do you keep the Mount Holyoke spirit of service alive in your life? Please write and share your stories—I’d love to hear from you.

With warm wishes for a lovely Thanksgiving,

W. Rochelle Calhoun ’83
Executive Director, Alumnae Association of Mount Holyoke College

The Lyon Lecture Series

ince 2002, the Lyon Lecture Series has traveled to major cities throughout the country, bringing the intellectual life of the College to alumnae clubs and groups. Join us for an evening of refreshments and stimulating discussion with faculty, guests, and fellow alumnae. This winter, the Lyon Lecture Series is coming to Seattle, Washington, and San Francisco, California.

“Problems with American Foreign Policy”
with Vincent A. Ferraro, Ruth Lawson Professor of Politics

The United States faces a diverse and dangerous collection of threats.  Aside from the traditional threats posed to every nation in a world without an effective system of global governance, the U.S. faces a unique set of threats associated with its preeminent power in the global system.  The tactics of terror pose seemingly intractable security issues, and determining proper and effective responses to these tactics has proven quite difficult. Additionally, policy disagreements are straining the traditional alliances supporting the U.S., and the emerging powers of China and India are complicating efforts to build a consistent and coherent foreign policy.  Finally, the world itself is changing dramatically. Globalization, the proliferation of nuclear weapons, and the growing global environmental crisis are all straining the capabilities of the U.S. to maintain global stability.

An excerpt from Mount Blog
(from the blog of Stephanie Miedema ’07)
Something else that excites me is hearing about the “olden days” of Mount Holyoke lore. And I got a lot of this at last weekend’s Alumnae Council Awards ceremony. I sat at a table (my “student reporter” badge pinned to my shirt) with alums from ’65, ’64, ’76 and ’91. Needless to say, my “’07”, felt a little weak next to these heavy hitters. I heard stories about out-of-control dorm parties, illicit smokes on the (now non-existent) fire escapes, sneaking boys in and out of windows, and keeping iguanas in the dorm bathtub.

And this is what I came up with: Mount Holyoke girls used to be a lot wilder than they are now. More…

Student Reporter Beat

ere is student reporter Shoshana Walter’s report on the recent Asian/Asian American Student and Alumnae Conference on campus November 3-5, 2006:

Asian Conference a Fusion of Cultures and Identity

More than one hundred alumnae, students, and faculty members attended the fourth triennial Asian/Asian-American Alumnae and Student Conference in November sponsored by the MHC Alumnae Association and various other offices on campus. The conference, “Facing East, Facing West: From the Gates of Mount Holyoke to a Global Citizenship,” explored both the idea of global citizenship and the multi-faceted relationships between Asians and Asian Americans.

A cultural fusion of food and fun was one of the highlights of the weekend gathering, which featured a lavish buffet of Chinese, Indian, and Korean food on Saturday evening as well as dance and music performances by the student groups Jhumka, Bhangra, and KASA. Also featured was the delightful Miki Yamashita ’06, who wrote and performed the one-woman comedy, The Geisha Next Door.

Throughout the weekend, conference workshops focused on assimilation, global citizenship, and biracialism, and explored the complex intersections of culture and identity that are so much a part of life for many Mount Holyoke students and alumnae.

Opening speaker Sonali Gulati ’96, originally from New Delhi, India, spoke personally about becoming an artist and filmmaker, her struggles in identifying as lesbian, and the difficulties of knowing two homes—India and the U.S. “Mount Holyoke is where I started my journey,” she said. Her talk “Disembodied & Outsourced: Reconfiguring South Asian Identity” included the screening of her short poetic film, Sum Total, and her award-winning documentary, Nalini by Day, Nancy by Night. Both films featured unique and fresh perspectives and were extremely insightful and well executed.

Many other events offered students a chance to explore topics of both academic and personal interest. Mariya Filipova ’07, an economics and international relations major, found the faculty panel on America’s relations with Asia to be particularly enlightening.

“I have an academic interest in the region,” said Filipova, but she enjoyed the conference for other reasons, too. “I have a lot of friends who come from that region. We talk on a more personal level about this,” she said. “The professors [Kavita Khory, Jonathan Lipman, Stacey Philbrick Yadav, and Vikash Yadav] were fascinating.”

The conference offered an array of activities, including an intergenerational discussion between alums and students about “global citizenship,” a presentation about multicultural and transnational identity, networking and mentoring sessions, and the enlightening keynote address by Angela Oh on Saturday evening. An ordained Buddhist Priest and high-powered civil rights lawyer, Oh drew on both her professional and spiritual disciplines to discus issues of balance and focus in her life, and encouraged her audience to re-think the meaning of being “centered.”

The festive, multicultural celebration that followed was imbued for some with a new depth of meaning, a sentiment that was shared over warm conversation, food, and laughter.—Shoshana Walter ’07

Alumnae in Action

n Thursday, November 9, a lively group of 30 local alumnae, Association staff, and guests (including five children with their alumnae moms) showed up at the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts for the fall Alumnae in Action food service project. The event began with a welcome by Food Bank staff, followed by a short film and a guided tour of the recently expanded operations, which, according to executive director Andrew Morehouse, were built according to environmentally “green” code.

After a quick refreshment break, volunteers donned headscarves and sweatshirts and got to work, splitting up into three groups to help with warehouse and office projects. By evening’s end, 650 thank-cards were written, hundreds of information packets assembled, and many dozens of salvage food boxes unloaded and sorted. Volunteers left with the satisfaction of a job well done and surprise gifts to take home: a custom-designed Alumnae in Action water bottle and a Food Bank coffee mug. For many volunteers, a highlight of the evening was the company of fellow alumnae across the generations. Sharing stories and laughter over their work, several made plans to return for future service projects at the Food Bank (and more of those cheese cube snacks).

Those alumnae who wanted to participate but couldn’t make it to the Thursday night event were able to go online and donate ten dollars or more to the purchase of a holiday turkey for a local family in need.

We warmly encourage you to call classmates and club members in your area and organize your own Alumnae in Action food project. You can start a food drive, volunteer at an organic farm, raise funds for a food distribution agency, or help out at a soup kitchen. Let us know what your club or class is planning, and we’ll send each of you a custom-designed Alumnae in Action water bottle and bandanna as a gift.

Alumnae Council 2006

he Alumnae Association hosted its annual volunteer training, Alumnae Council 2006: Celebrating Loyalty, during the peak of the Pioneer Valley’s foliage season. Alumnae Council is an annual training and tradition that begin in 1914. With leaves brightening the skyline and mist covering the lip of Lower Lake, volunteers of all ages and from all over the world—from classes 1946 to 2006, from San Antonio to Switzerland—gathered to learn about Association volunteer resources, discuss policies and programs, and exchange ideas among themselves. The weekend kicked off with a Speakers Bureau Faculty Tea and was highlighted by Saturday night’s Loyalty Awards dinner, which celebrated outstanding volunteers.

The Loyalty Award recognizes dedicated and sustained volunteer efforts made by alumnae across the world. Award recipients who attended the gala were Julianne Trabucchi Puckett ’91, Elizabeth M. Margolis ’96, Christine (Chris) L. Roch ’96, Lori Hiratani Rough ’81, Mary Dethloff Dryselius ’66 and Susan Ham Heldman ’76. Three winners were unable to attend: Leslie Yun-Ting Fu ’97, Louise Whittemore Hine ’51 and Verity A. Chegar ’00.

Of the first-time ever Loyalty Award Dinner, one alumna said, “It was a lovely midpoint to the weekend as it allowed us to pause in our personal ruminations and celebrate [alumnae] who make this process work. Inspiring!”

W. Rochelle Calhoun, executive director of the Alumnae Association, warmly welcomed Council attendees in her opening remarks, and declared 2006-07 as the official “Year of Celebrating Loyalty.” “Alumnae are our most valuable resource, and we want them to know how very much they are valued in return,” she said.

Alumnae Awareness Days

ow a yearly tradition, the AA hosts Awareness Days in Blanchard Campus Center to let current students know about the many programs and services we offer to students.

The event provides fun and excitement for students—from photos with “Mary Lyon” to giveaway pens and post-it notes in class colors to cool iPods. Yes, that’s correct: two cool new iPod nanos were raffled off to students who attended information sessions on LifeNet, the comprehensive networking program for alumnae and students.

LifeNet connects MHC alumnae and students from around the world with one another. Students are thrilled that they can now easily reach out to alumnae advisers and mentors in their career fields of interest. If you haven’t registered for LifeNet, please do so today: it’s not only a great tool to help you network with fellow alumnae, but also a wonderful way of sharing your insights into the working world with your little sisters at MHC.

European Reunion/Symposium 2007

id you know how many active clubs are based in Europe? There are many more than you might think, and the members of those clubs—along with other international alumnae—are looking forward to this year’s European Reunion/Symposium. Founded by Renee Scialom Cary ’48 shortly after the London Sesquicentennial celebration, the first symposium was organized by a newly formed European Council with club members from the UK, Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland. Its purpose was to coordinate and encourage activities and communications among Mount Holyoke alumnae living in Europe.

European Reunion/Symposiums are held triennially; host cities have included London, Salzburg, Rome, Paris, Amsterdam, Munich, Seville, and Dublin. Each organizer chooses a theme, and the Saturday symposium is presented by a combination of distinguished speakers from the organizing country and Mount Holyoke faculty. Friday of the weekend is devoted to sightseeing, and on Sunday morning attendees meet for discussions led by alums. These intimate talks allow participants to exchange views and share opinions about current international topics and the problems (and privileges) of living abroad.

This year’s symposium will be held in Geneva, Switzerland, October 5 – 7, 2007, under the leadership of Christine Bruno ’98.  The working title is “Switzerland: Innovation Emerging through Tradition.”  The weekend will feature lively panels, workshops, discussions, and special guest speakers.  Discussions will focus on questions of environmental sustainability, humanitarian issues, and new ways of learning.  Workshops will focus on new ideas about traditional Swiss trades (watches, chocolate, wine), while moderated discussions will explore different perspectives on personal “passages” through life.  The symposium will also include elegant dinners, entertainment, and plenty of time to explore the beauty of Geneva with fellow alumnae. 

According to Claire Burgoyne Brouwer ’57, who lives in the Netherlands, the symposiums offer a unique opportunity to stay connected to the College and to alumnae around the world. “If I could choose one thing I find most important about the European Reunion/Symposiums,” Claire says, “it is that each of us attending truly has the feeling about Mount Holyoke that ‘our years are as one,’ and we come away with a renewed feeling of love for and pride in our alma mater.”    

For more information on this dynamic event, please contact Christine at christine.bruno@ch.pwc.com. See you in Switzerland!

I-Witness

reated to feature personal alumnae perspectives on breaking news around the world, this month’s “I-Witness” features an article by Barbara Schmidt-Rahmer ’80:

Helping Women in Brazil Escape Poverty through Entrepreneurship

In 2002 I left my position as a director in the Boston office of Standard and Poor’s Corporate Value Consulting practice to move to Brazil to start Vencer Juntos, a not-for-profit project that provides start-up capital, entrepreneurship training, and consulting services to low income women and men who want to escape poverty by starting their own micro-business. Between January of 2003 and October of 2006, Vencer Juntos (Portuguese for “winning together”) funded 260 micro business start-ups providing an income supplement and new livelihood for 1,300 poor families in Brazil’s poor interior. Over 90 percent of Vencer Juntos’ clients are women.

Maria Jose is one of Vencer Juntos’ clients. She and five of her sisters have been practicing the difficult art of labirinto embroidery since they were five years old. The sisters and their families live in the village of Corrego Danica in the state of Ceara in Northeastern Brazil. Families in the village are poor, with an average family income of $100.00 per month from government pensions, seasonal labor on the cashew plantations, and the sale of hand-embroidered table cloths. In the past buyers would come to the village and buy the crafts for prices that covered little more than the cost of material to resell them at a high markup in the city.

Desperate to receive cash, Maria Jose and the other craftswomen sold at almost any price. But since 2003, Maria Jose and the other craftswomen have seen a big improvement in their lives. Vencer Juntos organized the women into an informal cooperative. The cooperative provides training and advice in pricing, quality improvements, and new product development—and has started purchasing embroidered linens for export to Germany and the US as well to wealthier markets within Brazil, doubling prices paid to the artisans.

When I began Vencer Juntos, the challenge was to provide these services at a reasonable cost. My Harvard Business School training, eight years in consulting. and experience in international development with UNICEF in Brazil gave me the confidence to address this challenge. Building on my contacts from my time with UNICEF, I convinced Pastoral da Crianca, one of Brazil’s most highly respected not-for-profit organizations that has a vast grassroots leadership network in Brazil’s poorest communities, to let me start a pilot project with funding already available. I was convinced that this population needed an integrated package of services that includes start-up financing, training in basic business skills and practices, business advice—especially in the areas of product development and quality improvement—and support in the marketing of its products and services.

Borrowing from Pastoral’s methodology of training community health workers to promote health and nutrition education for poor families, Vencer Juntos trains community business advisors (CBAs) who identify and train potential entrepreneurs among the poor. The CBAs are young people with a high school education and an entrepreneurial attitude. When Vencer Juntos clients need training or expertise that the CBA is not qualified to provide, she looks for partnerships with government training or extension services that can provide the needed expertise. In this way, Vencer Juntos leverages existing government services that are typically unable to reach the poorest, Vencer Juntos’ target clients, on their own.

With four national staff and one or two CBAs serving each region of 15 municipalities, we have built an extremely lean organization. As a result, we spent a total of under $ 1 million in the eight regions where the project has been up and running since 2003, including start-up funding, training and advisory services, and overhead.

I deliberately started the Vencer Juntos pilot in four regions within the first year in order to build a methodology that would be replicable on a massive scale and did not excessively depend on her skills and direct involvement. My ambition is for Vencer Juntos to become a model of best practices in entrepreneurship development services for the poor the way Women’s World Banking, Accion or Grameen Bank have become internationally recognized brand names in microfinance.

One early frustration I experienced when developing the cooperative is that I underestimated the difficulties of working with our poorest clients. They are not natural entrepreneurs with initiative and drive. They tend to have extremely low self esteem and great fear of taking on debt. In the initial phase of working with these women I realized I needed social workers and psychologists more than an MBA. In the first couple of years, I was able to use only a small fraction of my business skills. On the other hand, I learned a lot, especially patience and humility.

But the rewards are many. I have discovered that once you’ve achieved a reasonable level of financial security true happiness comes from giving back, from serving others. My greatest reward is seeing the transformation in the women whose lives Vencer Juntos has touched.
