After marrying and moving from New York City to Minneapolis, Sorensen described herself as \u201cthe queen of transplants.\u201d Although it took some personal initiative to create an active social life in her adopted city, Sorensen was up to the challenge. \u201cPeople can be really reserved about getting involved in things,\u201d she said in the story. \u201cAnd I love to be Julie Cruise Director.\u201d In an e-mail to Hollins, Sorensen explained that the alumnae office helped her find her footing when she first moved to Minnesota. \u201cThey connected me to another transplant, <strong>Allison Baier Totaro \u201994<\/strong>, who like me at the time, had newborn boy\/girl twins and lived in Edina,\u201d Sorensen wrote. \u201cShe was an amazing friend to me and helped me learn the ropes. I will forever be grateful to her. She now lives in Connecticut, but we keep in regular touch and see each other in the summer when we go back to the East Coast.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Photo: Sorensen and her daughter, Maggie, being prepped for the Mpls.StPaul photo shoot.<br \/>\n<em>Photo credit: Stephanie Colgan<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rebecca Bell Sorensen \u201995 was one of five glamorous women selected by <em>Mpls.StPaul<\/em> magazine for its July 2011 cover story, \u201cOur Housewives.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1073,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[39],"class_list":["post-998","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alumnae_connections","tag-winter-2012"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hollins.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/998","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hollins.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hollins.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hollins.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hollins.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=998"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/www.hollins.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/998\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1250,"href":"https:\/\/www.hollins.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/998\/revisions\/1250"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hollins.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1073"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hollins.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=998"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hollins.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=998"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hollins.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=998"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
