Buffalo Seminary officially kicked off the 2013-2014 academic year on Friday morning, September 6, 2013, with convocation in the chapel. Head of School, Jody Douglass, welcomed students and faculty and reminded them of the long and outstanding history of women’s education which began at Sem in 1851. This year, the enrollment totals 209, with 80 new students who come from 35 different schools.
The featured speaker for convocation was Robin Hace, a 2002 graduate of Buffalo Seminary. Robin is the Program and Event Manager for Carly’s Club at Roswell Park Cancer Institute and was recently named one of the Buffalo News “30 Under Thirty” for her contributions to our community. Robin, who received her BA from the University of Richmond, told the students to have the determination to stand up for their beliefs even at a young age. She told them the history of Carly’s Club as a demonstration of courage in the face of tremendous challenges. Her example of achievement was inspiration for students as they begin a new academic year.
Senior and All School President, Molly Armstrong, spoke of the value of community as she encouraged all students to take advantage of the tremendous opportunities at Sem. The opening day concluded with a picnic on Bidwell Parkway organized by the Parents Association for the entire school community and their families.
