Starting the semester right!

On Wednesday, August 26th, we held an ice cream social and our first meeting, which took place in the courtyard outside Finard House. The treats and beautiful scenery made for a perfect afternoon. We had a lovely time reconnecting and meeting our new ambassadors!😊🌸

That’s the scoop!🍦

A day rooted in history, sisterhood, and action.

Our Russell Sage Ambassadors visited Seneca Falls to engage with the history of the women’s rights movement, including a tour of the National Women’s History Museum and participation in an organized activist protest.

Here are some quotes from our ambassadors and alumnae:

“Today was an incredible day of centering women and celebrating history that is so important to us, it was an extra bonus to meet Sage alums, and practice our protesting skills in front of the Women’s History Museum!” – Elizabeth Mastrantuono

“I had a wonderful time learning about the key figures who helped shape the Declaration of Sentiments. The tour of the site where the first women’s rights convention occurred was really inspiring. The trip was even more powerful when we got to join a protest; it was really meaningful to honor womens’ history with action!” – Zaynah Dominique Aparece

“First of all it was wonderful to be able to share such an important and magical place with my Sage sisterhood and my granddaughter. It also proves that many things have not changed since the 1840’s and we still have a lot to do for our rights. We are still fighting.” – Paula Harris (alumnae)

March was Bring on the Spectrum (BOTS) Girl Empowerment Month, and our ambassadors had the pleasure of joining them for one of their events on March 29th.
During this event, guest speaker Christina Arangio shared, “Confidence is learned. Mirror those you admire.”
After an insightful presentation by the guest speaker, the ambassadors had the opportunity to offer peer support and mentoring to the girls as they decorated mirrors and to reflect on their attributes, such as strength, confidence, and personal power.
