How I Spent My Summer Vacation By President Jacqueline Powers Doud
chievement, versatility, energy, commitment—these words come to mind as I reflect on my visits with our alumnae last summer. In June and July, gatherings and conversations with Mount grads in and around Washington, D.C.; South Carolina; New Jersey; Milwaukee; and Connecticut reinforced my conviction about the remarkable work we do at Mount St. Mary’s College and about the students we attract. Our graduates of all ages and in all venues are engaged in making the world a better place. I found our graduates making their mark in health care, publishing, and teaching at all levels from elementary through university. I found them working in forensic psychology, psychotherapy, congressional librarianship, church ministry, bio-terror disease control, non-profit management, anthropology, marketing, and grant writing. They are using their talents to raise families and support grandchildren. Many have continued their formal education and earned advanced degrees.

The Mount Fall/Winter 2001
As we talked, their affection for the Mount was evident. They are eager to hear about one another and about what is happening at the College today. Over and over, they expressed gratitude for outstanding faculty, many thanked by name, and for the Sisters of St. Joseph who influenced their lives. It is my hope to continue meeting more of these remarkable women as I travel near and far as president. I feel immensely enriched by their company and gratified by their contribution to life. We can all take great pride in the alumnae of the Mount. Our charism and mission are alive and well! My special thanks to those who hosted Bob and me last summer, and those who generously welcomed our alumnae in their homes: Mary Fisher Pickerell ’62; Nancy Sullivan Taylor ’65; Carol LaValley Genese ’67; Kathleen Delaney Bertram ’62; and Barbara Becker, long-time administrator at the Mount.
