February 2008

Dear Alumnae,

This month was declared “Fab Feb” by the Senior Proctors, and it’s been a month full of fun, highlighted by the month-long Emma Idol competition, Ring Week (culminating in Ring Dinner, when the junior class received their EWS rings), a special Valentine’s Day edition of Morning Reports, and Spirit Week. To see and hear what's happening on campus, visit Emma Now.

As you will notice, we are trying out a simpler, shorter e-newsletter. Do you like it? Do you like the longer version better? Tell us what you think.

Cheers,

Molly Price, Director of Alumnae Relations
