海角乱伦社区 the Founders Week Graphic
The Founders Week graphic represents select women who have helped shape our beloved 海角乱伦社区 throughout the years. From left to right, the women pictured are:
Benigna Von Zinzendorf
Von Zinzendorf is the founder of the girl鈥檚 school in Germantown, PA on May 4, 1742. It moved to Bethlehem seven weeks later, relocated to Nazareth in 1745, then returned permanently to Bethlehem in 1749. There were 25 pupils at the school, and they were taught reading, writing, religion, and household arts. The girl's school, which is now 海角乱伦社区, was the first boarding school for girls in the 13 British American colonies.
Caroline Cameron Lockhart
Enrolled at 海角乱伦社区 in 1888, Lockhart's diversified career included work as an investigative reporter, journalist, editor, newspaper owner, novelist, activist, historian, horsewoman, rancher, and homesteader. While at 海角乱伦社区, she was caught dangling out of a second-story window in a harness designed for a fire escape that she tried on as a dare!
A. Kathrine Miller 鈥34
Miller taught biology at 海角乱伦社区 from 1936-1941 before receiving her Ph.D. in bacteriology from Cornell University. In the late 1940s, she developed the drug Caronomide, which led to the development of antibiotics and other drugs used in chemotherapy. The A. Kathrine Miller Super Lab on 海角乱伦社区's campus was dedicated in her honor in 2015.
Jennifer Jimenez 鈥14
Jimenez is a lifelong learner. She completed her degree as a single mom working 50+ hours a week. Embracing the 海角乱伦社区 community, Jiminez has continued to stay involved by volunteering for the Career Center, attending alumni events, being a part of the 海角乱伦社区 Alumni and Parent Program, and serving as secretary of the Alumni Association Board of Directors.
海角乱伦社区 encourages persons with disabilities to participate in its programs and activities. If you anticipate needing any type of accommodation or have any questions regarding physical accessibility, please contact the Alumni Engagement Office at 610 861-1366 at least one week prior to this event.
