Havergal College & The Havergal College Foundation Impact Report 2021-22

LOUISE PARK MACMILLAN 1972 Old Girl/Alum "I entered Havergal as a very shy eighth grade boarder shattered by a bicoastal family torn to shreds that wasn't ever going to mend itself. I was able to almost completely leave that behind and grow into my own personhood. I loved academics and could easily bury myself in the rigorous requirements of Havergal. My roommates became my family of origin. My matrons, the parents with whom I was to rebel. I continued on a lifelong path of learning to build resiliency, defined as the ability to maintain a healthy level of psychological functioning despite an exposure to extreme stressors. This learning is consistent with observations that stressful life events can lead to greater wisdom, a greater sense of self-efficacy, a sense of meaning and purpose, personal strength, spirituality, an appreciation of and reverence for life and the ability to understand and relate more effectively with others. I'm passionate about giving to others, because I know I am blessed. I graduated from Havergal and went on to receive degrees from UC Berkeley, Harvard and Stanford. I was lucky enough to work in Latin America and Africa in my chosen field. NICOLE SWALES 1987 & BRIAN SWALES Old Girl/Alum and Former Parents "When I graduated from Havergal in 1987, I made a commitment to support the school both financially and as a volunteer. Our desire to continue that support as a family was rooted in the enrollment of our daughter, Alexa, in 2014. It has been a wonderful experience watching Alexa share in many of the same experiences I had as a student, and this made her graduation a very special time for us. It was our pleasure to make a gift to the Class of 2022 Endowment Fund in support of Alexa’s graduation. We want young women to always have the opportunity to grow and learn through extra experiences and teachings at the school. We want to ensure the school has the funds to offer this path of learning to help develop strong, confident women who know they can do anything they set their mind on. Havergal was an amazing experience for both Alexa and myself, and some of our best friends were made there. We as a family want to support the school's ability to provide this experience to other women. ' Vitae Lamada Tradens ': 'Carry the Torch of Life' and pass it on to those we love in the next generation!"

I met a man who I fell deeply in love with and to whom I am still married almost 40 years later. I have three lovely daughters, three lovely sons-in-law and three tiny granddaughters. No matter how serene one’s life looks from the outside, however, there are challenges. I know what an incredible difference an education can make to someone's life. I strongly believe in bursaries and the Wellness Centre. I give to Havergal because Havergal gave me agency at a very vulnerable time in my life. And I thank them dearly." $180,193 was dispersed from Class Endowments in 2021–22 5 projects were supported by The Havergal Fund, which included the Period Project, Student Bursaries and Assistance, and making Havergal's digital platforms accessible
