  9/11 -- On This Day

  Robert Naeher, PhD
  The Emma Willard School community gathered this morning for a moment of silent reflection and to hear the words of History Instructor and Chair of Humanties. Dr. Naeher offered comments reflecting on this sad day in history. He challenged the students "I want to ask you, however, not to become numb, and I want to challenge you to cultivate a compassion that leads to positive acts for good, even and perhaps especially in the face of great suffering. While I can’t give you an easy way to do this, to feel deeply without succumbing to despair, what I can say is that in the presence of evil, and pain, there is occasion for great good."

  Parents As School Community Members

  Suzanne Romero Dewey
  Emma Willard School is pleased to announce a new parents’ association launching this academic year. The purpose of this program is to further engage families in the Emma Willard community. Parents have helped be admission ambassadors or have served as mentors for Practicum and Signature projects on an ad hoc basis in the past. With the formalization of a parents’ group, which will be called Parents EMbassador Program (PEP), we hope to augment the community aspects for parents and provide a supporting structure for the student experience.
