From the President: April 2023
Welcome to the April edition of the Old Girl’s Association blog.
It’s hard to believe Easter is just around the corner. I hope you all get to take some time out to spend this occasion with loved ones.
We are very excited to announce the appointment of Elizabeth Houwert (Walsh, Class of 2002) to the position of Foundations and Alumni Officer. Liz is a welcome addition to the incredible team that looks after the OGA. She was also kind enough to share more about her journey back to Santa Maria, which you can read further on in this blog.
I would like to extend my gratitude to those who have volunteered their time already at the College this year. We are thrilled to be once again able to offer current students the opportunity to be mentored by members of the OGA. If you’re interested in becoming a mentor, we’d love to hear from you. It’s easy to register by filling out this form.
Until next time.
Gemma Varone (2009), President
