We Are Emma

 

or four spectacular late-September days, hundreds of alumnae, students, administrators, teachers, family members, friends, and special guests celebrated on the heights of Ida as Emma Willard School has rarely celebrated before. From the joyous reunion of long-lost classmates to the recognition of our most distinguished and accomplished alumnae; from eye-popping tours of the school’s newly renovated student spaces to enlightening classes and seminars; from the heart-warming pageantry of the Parade of Classes to a ground-breaking symposium on “Women, Power, and Responsibility”—Celebration 2007 captured all that is Emma.
