On the heels of an exciting year in admission (see In the Loop<\/u>,<\/a> which details the makeup of the class of 2022), President Lawrence, with help from the rest of the campus community, is creating a new five-year strategic plan to \u201censure that the Hollins experience will thrive and evolve through changing times.\u201d Read more in \u201cIt Takes a Community.\u201d<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n

This issue contains two stories about graduates who are not only thriving themselves, but helping others thrive, too. Doug Jackson M.F.A. \u201906, profiled by Martha Park M.F.A. \u201915 (\u201dBuilding Creative Communities\u201d<\/a><\/u>), remained in Roanoke after earning his Hollins degree and is finding ingenious ways to connect readers and writers.<\/p>\n

Jacqueline Whitt \u201903 and Megan Hennessey-Croy \u201907 are two of the 21 female faculty members at the U.S. Army War College\u2014where, Whitt says, it\u2019s her job \u201cto scramble [students\u2019] brains up, explode their heads a little bit, make them think in really different ways, and really challenge them.\u201d Beth JoJack \u201998 tells the story in \u201cTraining Senior Officers for Difficult Jobs and Hard Decisions.\u201d<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n

So much to do, so little time. How are alumnae finding balance in their busy lives? Sarah Achenbach \u201988 sent out a survey and consulted an expert. Read her fascinating account in \u201cStriking a Balance: What It Really Means to Have It All.<\/a><\/u>\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

Elizabeth Jose \u201912 seems to be a one-woman example of how use the information gained in one career to inform the next. In \u201cFrom Mangoes to Blockchain,\u201d<\/a><\/u> Jeff Hodges M.A.L.S. \u201911 chronicles Jose\u2019s many post-Hollins adventures, ranging from organic gardening to launching a global technology company.<\/p>\n

When students aren\u2019t in class or their residence halls, chances are they\u2019re in Moody, where they\u2019re eating, attending a workshop, listening to a band, doing crafts, or socializing. Take a look at \u201cThe Many Moods of Moody.\u201d<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n

Miranda Dennis \u201908 has the last word\u2014on donuts. In her paean to the fried and sugared treats (\u201cOf Donuts I Have Loved\u201d<\/a><\/u>), of course she includes the Tinker Day breakfast special: Krispy Kremes.<\/p>\n
