Happy October, Mawrtian families and fans! It’s been a pleasure to see so many of you at our spectacular September events. With hearts that are glad, we’ve welcomed spectators back to athletic competitions, held in-person Spirit and Founders Days, and enjoyed opening picnics, retreats, convocations and more. I think I speak for many when I say how delighted we are to be reunited as a community.

In Her Words
Hallie Iglehart ’65 knows that you don’t have to know everything to share an interest with the world, “I’m no expert on urban farms,” she said, “but I am an enthusiastic advocate for them.” So enthusiastic that Iglehart has been researching them, started a reading group with her cousins and ultimately created a special fund called the Urban Farm Fund to help farms with fundraising efforts. Here, Iglehart is sharing her interest and passion, In Her Words.
