My flatmate when I studied abroad junior year couldn’t believe women’s colleges still existed and was constantly teasing me that it was the strangest thing ever. I went to visit her family in the UK over spring break, and it turns out her grandmother was a Mawrter!

At a grocery store in Houston, TX! And he was an elderly gent that was a graduate of the GSSWSR! We met in the soup aisle.

New Year’s Eve in Kathmandu in the street! She was doing a study abroad program and I was on holiday with my cousins.

At a traffic light in Singapore! I was there for a business trip and my freshman hallmate was there doing a short internship, and we walked past each other at the zebra crossing during lunch time!

Many years after graduation, I moved back to my hometown in Missouri. At a church leaders’ conference in a nearby city, I saw a woman’s nametag and her name sounded familiar. Turns out she was the alumna from SW Missouri who had written me a note as a prospective freshman, encouraging me to attend BMC! Small world!

At a cafe in Tunali in downtown Ankara, Turkey. I lived there and was having lunch with friends, overheard two young women at the next table over talking about Bryn Mawr...of course joined up and had a great afternoon!
