In lieu of our traditional Ring Dinner, seniors instead gathered October 23 in socially distant ways — and on a beautiful Berkshires fall day! — for a reimagined Ring Ceremony.

After inspiring comments outside the New Dorm from Class President Nya Mielke ’21, Dean of Academics and Faculty Lisa Alberti ’73, and Alumnae Council President Mary Atwood ’83, seniors paraded around the Pond, greeted by cheering juniors in the Quad, ninth graders outside Linn Hall, and sophomores at the Klein, applauded by faculty all the way.

In another new twist, ribbons — green for faculty, blue for underclasswomen, and gold for seniors — were shared electronically. Thank you to Celcie Tetteh ’21, who was the creative energy behind the new virtual ribbons, Senior Class Advisor Kim Boland ’94, and all who helped with this event.
