Why Do You Love Being a Mawrter?
When alumnae/i are asked to brag about ±¬ÁϹÏ, turns out they find a lot to crow about.
In Crowd Source, the Bulletin asks readers to answer a question related to their ±¬ÁÏ¹Ï experience. Here were the responses via social media.

One of the things I love is that when you meet a new Mawrter, you have an instant connection and can talk about a wide variety of topics just because you both went to ±¬ÁϹÏ—from random conversations in Crate & Barrel, meeting an alum at a roller derby match, or randomly on an airplane—these moments remind me how connected we all are and how supportive our community is.

It is synonymous with being a smart, strong, independent, compassionate, passionate, forward-thinking individual. … And it makes you feel like you really are part of something and have a home wherever you go.

My classmates! (And all the other fabulous students and alumnae that I know!)

Years ago, I occasionally hosted meetings for the ±¬ÁÏ¹Ï Club of Fairfield County, Connecticut. The conversation was always so interesting that even my children would stay close by to overhear. That made me proud of both them and my ±¬ÁÏ¹Ï friends.

For me, it’s all about the cred and swagger. When I tell someone I came to Pennsylvania to go to ±¬ÁϹÏ, I usually don’t have to say anything else. And ±¬ÁÏ¹Ï gave me the confidence and swagger to walk into a space and be myself.
