These results are a testament to the cohort’s generous collaboration, hard work, grit, and balanced approach to their education in a year like no other. The Class of 2021 is a group of strong, intelligent and compassionate young women who will no doubt make their mark on the world as future leaders, thinkers, activists, creatives and people of service.”
