From running a city like Las Vegas to fighting discrimination in medicine and taking care of grandchildren, Bryn Mawr alumnae have always been at the forefront of social change. In the museum world, graduates in art history play a leading role in shaping these institutions for the future. Give us your feedback on the online and print Bulletin. We’re experimenting with new ideas and new ways of communicating with all of you.

This issue of the Bulletin testifies to the many ways Mawrters bring empathy and excellence to their personal and professional lives—from 50 years of global service with the Peace Corps to the novel Posse scholarship program, which recently celebrated 10 years of redefining learning and leadership. Also in this issue, an alumna celebrates her recovery from a devastating bicycle accident and students speak out on war apathy and changing perceptions of Pakistan. Give us your feedback on the online and print Bulletin. The new editor, Priya Ratneshwar, looks forward to a new era of storytelling and communicating with all of you.
