In this Issue: 4 Villa Celebrates Graduation 10Alumnae Luncheon 16 Women & Wine LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR

Dear Alumnae and Friends of Villa Maria, It has only been a month or so since we sent another class of young women off to college. The 2016-17 school year was marked by National Merit awards, another state swimming championship, recognition of several All-Catholic musicians, and of course, the graduation of the Class of 2017. Graduation is a bittersweet time. We are so proud of the 107 young women who leave Villa to pursue their college degrees and careers, but it is hard to say good-bye. This class earned 231 merit scholarships that totaled $15.3 million dollars. We are so grateful to their parents for allowing us the privilege of educating their daughters. We also thank all the young women who shared their talents with us over these past four years. The Class of 2017 certainly left their mark on the Villa community.

This year also included the continued engagement of our alumnae through regional events, Homecoming and Hall of Fame activities and the alumnae luncheon. Our hope is to continue to bring more and more alumnae and their families back to campus. We are so grateful to all the alumnae who attended events, mentored students, or simply stayed informed by following us on social media. The alumnae are the foundation on which we continue to build the mission of Villa Maria.

I hope that summer allows everyone some time to rest, recreate, and rejuvenate. We need everyone in the Villa Maria community well rested and enthusiastic to continue the proud tradition of excellence that we all have come to expect.

Please know that you are all remembered in the prayers of the Villa community and that we count on your prayers for the continued success of our mission. Have a wonderful summer and we will see you in September.

Sincerely, Kathy McCartney Director of Advancement

6 VIEWS of VILLA | SUMMER 2017 GRADUATE AWARDS

Honors Convocation Villa Maria alumna Sara E. Lally, M.D. ’90, was the guest speaker for the evening. Dr. Lally, an ophthalmologist specializing in ocular oncology at Wills Eye Hospital, encouraged the graduates to “live like a hero, find your passion, and fuel your passion. Each and every one of you is destined for greatness.”

2017 Valedictorian Jessica Perry In her address at graduation, Jessica highlighted some essential life skills she learned during her time at Villa. She eloquently stated that “kindness is the single most important quality a person should possess. It will turn acquaintances into friends and enemies into allies.” She said “kindness builds trust and heals fractured relationships.” She implored her class to “lead with enthusiasm” and to “find people who will support your learning.” Lastly, Jessica suggested that we all “take risks because that is how you learn some of life’s greatest lessons.” Jessica is a very well-rounded scholar. She is a National Merit Finalist, a member of the National Honor Society, and the Music Honor Society President. She participated in chorus and Madrigals. Taking her own advice and taking risks, Jessica was a member of the Spring Track Team this year. Jessica will be continuing her academic career at the University of Virginia where she will be part of their Honors Program.

2017 Salutatorian Hope Reynolds Hope Reynolds is a young woman with many gifts, and she shared them in many different ways as a member of the Student Integrity Society, the Respect Life Club, and both the National and Latin Honor Societies. Hope was also part of our State Champion Swim Team. In her address at graduation she reminded the congregation of the Class of ’17 class motto, “It’s about the journey not the destination.” In preparing for her speech, she reached out to some classmates to ask them what they learned at Villa. Hope shared that her classmates said, “I learned to be friends with everyone, to be true to yourself, that it is okay to fail, that being unique is good and that God calls you to his own special path, and that you never know someone’s entire story so don’t judge them on the small part you do know.” Hope added that “these answers come from 17 and 18 year old girls, which I think is amazing.” She finished by thanking the faculty, stating, “You have taught us how to show Christ’s presence to others in the world. We leave here not only with the subject knowledge you taught us but also with knowing how to love and serve others as Jesus taught us.” Hope will continue her academic and swimming career at Hope College.

2017 Elinor Langton Award Winner Grace McClatchy Villa Maria Alumnae Association bestowed its highest honor, the Dr. Elinor Langton Award, on Grace McClatchy. The award is given annually to the senior who consistently shares with her classmates the traits of kindness, humility, faithfulness, joy for life, and a love for Villa Maria. The senior class, along with the faculty, vote for the recipient. Dottie Martin Toomey ’77, President of the Alumnae Association and 1977 Elinor Langton Award winner, made the presentation. She read some of the sentiments shared by Grace’s classmates. They said, “She always has a smile on her face;” “She never passes without a greeting;” “She always sees the best in everyone and puts others before herself;” “She goes about her day with God on her mind;” “She actually inspired me to start to drive myself to church,” and finally, “I can’t think of anyone as humble or as deserving of this award.” When Grace’s name was announced there was a spontaneous eruption of applause from everyone in the auditorium. At Villa, Grace was in Chorus, Spirit Squad, Peer Ministry, and PA Math League, and was a member of the Music, Spanish, and National Honor Societies. Grace will be attending The Catholic University of America in the fall.
