Quote of the Week

I’ve never thought of Mills as a college that just happens to enroll women. I’ve thought about Mills as a college that can demonstrate to the world how powerful women are.”

– Janet Holmgren, who stepped down on June 30 after serving as president of Mills College in Oakland, California, for the past 20 years
