Amazing Women

Our (Stephens) family: Eugene sings, we are happy.

This just in from one of our faculty, celebrating the commitment of one of our staffers.  Don't you just LOVE Stephens? (I do....)

 

Dr. Lynch,

Every day when I scamper up the four flights of stairs to my office in Walter Hall, I wonder if I will be greeted by Eugene. He is our custodian.

I ask him, "How are you today?" and he always responds, "Better than good."  I always wonder how this can be the case when the man works three jobs.  But I do believe he is telling the truth.  Sometimes he sings while he works, and it is very pleasant to hear is voice echoing warmly through the halls up there.  Because of him, we work in a sparkling clean building.

When I finish my office hours and head to class, I feel as though I have been given a pep talk about work ethic.  Selfishly, I hope  whoever makes decisions about custodial help never moves Eugene from Walter  Hall. Although, I suppose in keeping with the Christmas spirit I should be more generous about sharing my treasures.

A Stephens faculty member

 

Thank you, Eugene.  You are a treasure.

Ho ho ho! It's Midnight Breakfast, 2010!

From Facebook to Amazing Women....some amazing Stephens women:

Now THIS is my idea of BEAUTIFUL....

Everybody says that beauty rests in the eye of the beholder.

So behold this:  A group of our amazing Stephens women gathered together last spring to celebrate and create a sense of community among our African-American students, and to act as a liaison between the college's Black community and the administration (that would be me, as well as others). 

"We expect each woman to build a concept of self as an individual and to help create a positive Black image or identity on campus," the group's brochure says. "The purpose of this union is to perpetuate diversity and community to the students of Stephens College through community service and understanding."

This week, BEAUTIFUL announced the recipients of its first (annual) B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L awards, designed to recognize the ideal qualities and leadership of a group of our very special students.

Our congratulations and sincere appreciation for all they do for Stephens (and by the way, I got this list wrong the first time: My apologies to Camille and Charell!):
