"I joined the Society of 1918 to celebrate and promote the women of William & Mary and to acknowledge the history of the first class of women. Their achievement continues to inspire, motivate and make possible the contributions of all of us. And we have to build the future."

-Carol Shewmaker O'Connell ’69
