FIESTA 2017 was one for the books! Thank you to all the alumnae who donated, attended and supported FIESTA this year. We raised $275,000 for our Negotiated Tuition Program. FIESTA would not be possible without your generous support. Thank you so much for supporting this important event. Can't wait to see you next year!
