We’re launching a special oral history project to capture the moments that define our community – and we want to hear yours. 🌟

This is your chance to share your experience in your own words. Whether it’s a memory of a mentor who challenged you to lead courageously or a moment of discovery in the genuine work of your field, your voice helps preserve our history.

When the project is complete, these stories will be gathered into a commemorative book – real, tangible reflection of the Stephens journey.

We’re working with Publishing Concepts, Inc. (PCI) to bring this initiative to life. As they help us collect these stories, they’ll also ensure your contact information is current so we can keep you connected to what’s next at Stephens.

Ready to share? We’re listening.

This fall? Eight more Stephens College students will join the WiSR program. The future of women in STEM is bright. ✨
