Breaking Barriers: Voices of Newcomb College

Newcomb Institute and the Newcomb Alumnae Association invite you to attend a special panel event in honor of Black History Month. Caroline Kennedy, Mary Shaffer, and Connie Nelson -- members of the Newcomb Class of 1974 and some of the first women of color to attend the college -- will participate in a panel discussion about their time at Newcomb, reflecting on their experiences as students of color during a transformative time. The event will also be live-streamed on Zoom so alumnae can participate and submit questions from afar. Moderated by Lauren Wethers (SLA '15, '16). Students should register on WaveSync. Alumnae should register online here to attend in person and here to attend virtually.
