Past, Present, Future Program

MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

I am delighted to have you—our proud Havergal community members—join us this evening for our very special celebration. Our students, faculty and staff embarked on a journey to create tonight’s program, long before our 125th anniversary year commenced back in January, and I am certain you will enjoy this wonderful showcase that highlights their passion and talent.

The arts have always held a prominent place in the Havergal College experience and are a key element of our strong liberal arts education. By cultivating creativity, the arts allow young women the opportunity to express themselves, to build confidence, to develop self-knowledge and—as stated in our school’s mission—to make a difference. It is always a pleasure seeing our students perform; it uplifts our spirits, allows our community to come together and creates fond memories that we will one day look back on, years from now. Our 125th anniversary is a reminder of our place in time and space; it represents a continuum of Havergal throughout the ages. We are connected by Havergal’s traditions, values and mission, which shape our past, inspire our present and motivate our future. This evening you will experience an artistic expression of the Havergal spirit, which shines a spotlight on our students and their potential. I am thrilled to commemorate this occasion and I congratulate the students, faculty and staff, along with our esteemed special guests, for their tremendous efforts in delivering this magnificent evening of performance. Thank you for joining us to celebrate Havergal’s special 125th birthday. Cheers to many more.
