Hollins has helped you become the amazing young women you're meant to be...by helping you access the power and strength that you've carried within yourselves all along. But being part of this incredible community brings with it an important obligation. You have a responsibility to pay the gift of Hollins forward. This school's success is a tribute to the power of women helping women. Each of us has been lifted up by women who came before...and we have a responsibility to help other women climb as well. Glass ceilings may not be immediately visible, but clearly they still exist...and it is up to us all to keep lifting one another...looking out for one another...speaking up for one another...until the ceilings break and all women can soar as high as their talents will take them. |
