The last two years (2019 - 2021) of my service to the Association as President have been challenging and rewarding.

With the global pandemic, much has changed, in particular the holding of classes and meetings even devotions online. Despite the reduced warmth of online sessions vs face-to-face interactions, we have managed to maintain and even expand our network. The St Hugh’s Global Alumnae are linked via WhatsApp and meetings are becoming more regular allowing for greater cooperation and collaboration.

With the opportunity that the internet provides, our Devotions have been able to involve Swan Sisters living abroad. There have been more reunions and increased donations aimed at meeting the needs of so many of our young Swan Sisters.

As students transition into full face to face classes, we know the challenges will continue but our sisterhood is strong and swans are resilient. There is always a way to assist our Alma Mater and inspire and help cygnets become Swans - whether through your time, skills, talents and/or cash.

"Every mickle mek a muckle" - so send us a message today and find out how you can help!

Fidelitas,
Susan Otuokon, Ph.D.
