As 2017 opens, we prepare for the 41st AASH National Conference in San Francisco from April 27-30. The last quarter of 2016 was a prelude to what we can expect in San Francisco.
For two weeks in August Sacred Heart alums all over the world were transfixed by the Olympics. Along with cheering for favorite athletes or countries, we collectively rooted for an unofficial team, our Sacred Heart Olympians. Nine alumnae from the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Australia participated this year and it was exciting to cheer for them, knowing that we share a connection – our Sacred Heart education!
When Jane Musabeyezu and Micaela Kelly English met at Barat College, little did they know what an impact they would have on each other’s lives. It was 1998 and Jane had recently moved to the U.S. from Rwanda.
“We took some classes together and ended up in a sociology study group,” recalls Jane. “Barat is a tiny school, so everybody knows everybody. For four years, it was my home.”
While our Conference in Boston was a celebration of Cor Unum, it was also the gift of many dedicated alums who gave their time and effort to ensure that our experience was unique and memorable.
In some ways it seems like just yesterday that we set sail from Omaha to Boston Harbor. It’s been a circuitous route with two visits to St. Louis for Board meetings and a detour south for the AMASC World Congress.
