When I consider the rich heritage of a college that has educated young women for 170 years, I am reminded of the enormous accomplishments of women in the past and the greater number of opportunities open to them now. Women are assuming more leadership roles than ever before—in the sciences, business, government, the fine arts and many other fields. The goal of Stephens College is to help students discover that their potential is greater than they ever imagined, and then to provide the knowledge and skills necessary to turn that potential into successful performance.

As president of Stephens College, I have come to know our alumnae in many parts of the world and in many walks of life. Their success in personal and professional endeavors testifies to the excellent education Stephens has provided them. Here on campus that tradition of excellence continues as the College adapts its curriculum and its philosophy to current and future needs and goals of women.

Programs in pre-professional and career fields, the fine and performing arts, and liberal arts offer Stephens students both the specific skills they will need for the demands of the future and a broad understanding of the cultural traditions that enhance our lives as members of a world community. Opportunities to develop friendships with young women from across the country and the world enrich the residential program, and small classes with dedicated teachers ensure the quality of education that students at Stephens have always valued.

Our college is the right size to allow us to work together for intellectual and personal growth, and to offer a wide range of educational opportunities. We hope that Stephens College will be the essential piece of the puzzle leading to your own success.
