Alumnae
Ursuline alumnae are dedicated servant leaders empowered to create change. Infused with the Serviam spirit, they give back in many ways, engaging with their communities as accomplished professionals, volunteers, wives and mothers, and civic leaders. Shaped by a rich heritage, they are a diverse network of confident, collaborative, and compassionate women who embrace opportunity and challenge at home and around the world.
Through the Ursuline Alumnae Association, founded in 1899, generations of women have remained active in programs which support the school as well as strengthen bonds of friendship first forged at the Academy.
