From the President: July 2024
Welcome to the July edition of the OGAÂ Blog.
Just like that, we are halfway through 2024. I hope you are all enjoying this cooler change in the weather, and that our farmers are getting the rain they need.
It has been wonderful to see so many amazing alumni journeys shared over the past month. In particular, I would like to acknowledge Lucy Stronach, who was recently named the overall winner of the 7NEWS Young Achiever Awards. Lucy is a true Mercy woman, who gives her all for the benefit of others. We are all so incredibly proud of you, Lucy.
Thank you to all the past students who have donated their time by coming back to the College to share their journeys with current students through the Sisterhood Series. I know how much they enjoy hearing your stories and getting firsthand insight into a range of careers.
Until next time.
