An alumna scholarship provided funds for Meghan to participate in Preservation Institute: Nantucket Summer Program, which focuses on historic preservation, the summer before her senior year. Meghan also took advantage of an alumna scholarship that provided funds for her to intern at the Art Institute of Chicago during the summer before her junior year.


“Meghan was most excited about her work on the student-curated exhibition at the Maier Museum of Art at Randolph College. It was the culmination of her art history major,” said Jeanne. Meghan was one of six in a class on museum studies. Collectively, they curated, designed, and installed an exhibition named “Mirror of the Passing World: Ephemeral Places, Vanishing Spaces” which was on display at the Maier from January to April this year.


Two other legacies, Glenna Gray ’14 and Melissa Halka ’14, were co-curators of the exhibition. “When I came to campus to tour the student-curated exhibition with Glenna, I saw how the Maier has changed since I attended in the early 1980s,” said Glenna’s mother, Kim Calnan Gray ’82. “Art and classics were important to me as a student. The current students really are using this jewel of the campus well.”


Glenna was initially attracted to the College because of its excellent riding program. Glenna’s strong interest in art and language solidified her decision to attend Randolph. Glenna has shared with Kim that her courses are challenging, but she was prepared in high school, thanks to the study skills she developed at Kim’s insistence.


Kim was touched when Glenna called her to find out what she remembered about some “weird little halls and doors” in Main Hall and to say that she had discovered the “haunted attic.” “We talked about the blooming Poetry Tree and I thought about the fragrant boxwoods in Mary’s Garden,” said Kim.
